Augmented Reality Tutorials (8 Tutorial Pack)

In these tutorials I won't give any background in theory it is oriented to the result how to achieve it! After accomplishing all 8 tutorials shown BELOW (view all steps) and experimenting with it, you will be able to do something like in the 3 DEMOS shown ABOVE.

The content of the tutorials looks like that:

1. Augmented Reality Tutorial No. 1: Marker-Based Primitive Object Augmentation
2. Augmented Reality Tutorial No. 2: Marker-Based 3D Object With Textures Augmentation
3. Augmented Reality Tutorial No. 3: Putting Textures On 3D Objects For Proper Augmentation
4. Augmented Reality Tutorial No. 4: Interaction using Arduino and Photoresistor
5. Augmented Reality Tutorial No. 5: Interaction using Arduino and Ultrasonic Sensor
6. Augmented Reality Tutorial No. 6: TCRT5000 Optical Sensor Information for Interaction with Virtual Content
7. Augmented Reality Tutorial No. 7: Website-based Augmented Reality Example
8. Augmented Reality Tutorial No. 8: Interaction using Leap Motion

Some of the tutorials requires additional hardware:

• Arduino microcontroller
• Optical sensors TCRT5000
• Photoresistor
• HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor
• Leap Motion controller

Software used for tutorials:

• Mostly Processing
• Mostly Arduino
• 3D Studio Max
• FlashDevelop
• Various libraries

In this collection of tutorials I am demonstrating how to make various Augmented Reality applications just in a few minutes. This is not only for developers, but for all people that wants to play around with Augmented Reality and get more familiar with this technology.

Before you start Download "Hiro" black-white square marker from here.

Step 1: Augmented Reality Tutorial No. 1: Marker-Based Primitive Object Augmentation

For this tutorial you will need to:

Download: Processing

Download: Newest nyar4psg 2.0.0 library for Augmented Reality (*.rar file)

NOTE: Extract library and put nyar4psg folder to Processing libraries location as you can see in example here: “C:\Users\EdgarasArt\Documents\Processing\libraries\nyar4psg”. If there are no libraries folder in Processing folder (in My Documents) – create it!

Have Fun!

Step 2: Augmented Reality Tutorial No. 2: Marker-Based 3D Object With Texture Augmentation

For this tutorial you will need to:
Download:Processing

Download:Newest nyar4psg 2.0.0 library for Augmented Reality (*.rar file)

Download:The Result of This Tutorial (OBJLoader_Sample_SAITO folder) (*.rar file)

Download:The Result of This Tutorial (SimpleLite folder) (*.rar file)

NOTE: Extract library and put nyar4psg folder to Processing libraries location as you can see in example here: “C:\Users\EdgarasArt\Documents\Processing\libraries”. If there are no libraries folder in Processing folder (in My Documents) – create it!

Additional: Download:OBJLoader library to add 3D models in Augmented Reality (*.rar file). You can also install this library while using Processing.

Have Fun!

Step 3: Augmented Reality Tutorial No. 3: Putting Textures on 3D Objects for Proper Augmentation

For this tutorial you will need to:

Download:3Ds Max Box Model (*.max file) (3D Studio Max 2014 was used)

Download:Don’t Forget Box Models’ Texture! (*.jpg file)

Download:Finally Augmented Reality Result using Processing Programming Language (*.rar file)

Have Fun!
