AGENDA: Augmented reality (AR) adds graphics, sounds, and more to the natural world around you. You can expect video games to drive the development of augmented reality, but this technology will have countless applications. The technology adds computer-generated graphics to your field of vision. Augmented reality will truly change the way we view the world.

Using the power of the Adobe Flash player, Adobe Flex Builder, and a few open API’s, augmented reality has arrived on your desktop. With a webcam, AR will replace part of the live video footage it sees with Papervision3D computer models, animated in real-time. It is impressive and inspirational. Learn the basic background of augmented reality, and how to setup your first project using the technology.

AUDIENCE: Intermediate to Advanced Adobe Flash and Flex Developers and ANYONE who enjoys technical inspiration.

TAKE-AWAY: All source code and documentation will be available to attendees.

PICTURES
An image on paper is used as a marker to instruct the application on the positions and angles in real-world space (See Figure 1). The marker is replaced in REAL-TIME with a 3D model which movies and rotates believably within the real-world space (See Figure 2).
