Pachube.com: augmented reality demo

This is a quick augmented reality demo showing live Pachube (www.pachube.com) data displayed in realtime 'on top' of Arduino sensor boxes. This could provide an easy way to inspect rooms (or streets) full of environment and sensor data via a camera (e.g. iPhone) or even AR goggles!

Also features Pachube office carbon footprint wall with chalk-drawn augmented reality marker, for Dennou-coil-style space-hacking!

Code written in c++ using openFrameworks, ArToolKit and the ofxPachube library.

good

thats what those symbols are on the alain ships, augmented reality markers! :)

Could the markers be displayed on an e-ink device and work the same? Say a kindle like screen or on a large table interface... the tablet/table could change the locations of the charts/widgets marker locations on the fly while you viewed the actual interface through some sort of goggle. Make the surface touch sensitive and you have an ipad killer...

Cool stuff.

I love technology

pretty cool, but dude,

glEnable(DEPTH_TEST);

If you have opengl w/ depth test disabled, it will draw your cubes on top of each other in the order you draw them, as seen in this video. enabling depth test will draw the nearer planes on top of the farther, making it look a lot more realistic.

nicely done.
