About augmented reality SDKs for handhelds

Greetings,
We're trying to if CS5 could be used to create a SmartPhone AR application. (Augmented Reality)
Is there an SDK we could use to ease the process ?
It must work with iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 7.
Thanks !

One thing, the class files are all compiled into the swf and therefore they are not used at runtime. You do not need to upload to the server or anything. So one less thing to consider when you debug your issue
As for the paths, Flash will use the host HTML location as the base path once embedded so it's best to use loaderInfo.url (always the location of the swf) to construct your paths relative to the swf.

Augmented reality for iOS

Anybody have a good link on developing an Augmented Reality app for iOS.
The only thing I can find is this...
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/augmented_reality.html
...which is outdated.
I cannot find anything out there with folks using AIR 3.

Could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Any chance we could get a copy of your app? If you'd like to keep it private, please feel free to email it to me directly at [email protected]
Thanks,
Chris

Augmented reality in email

I just joined the forum. Excuse my ignorance if I put this in the wrong place.
I am learning about Augmented Reality (AR). I seem to have discovered AR in my email (on my macbook) with a flight number. When I mouseover the flight number, I get a lot of information about the flight.

seems like you are talking about data identifiers, augumented reality usually requires a camera and a compass

Queries regarding Flash Builder and Augmented Reality.

I am Sarat from India. I'm a software engineer with working knowledge of Java, so Flash AS and OOP are understandable for me. I am working on an augmented reality project. I am quite new to Flash, Adobe Community and I've got some queries regarding Augmented Reality and Flash Builder:
1. Flash Builder 4.6 comes with a default Flex 4.6 SDK. However, Flex 4.6 SDK wasn't allowing me to compile and run some example files. So I've downloaded Flex 4.0A version from Adobe.com. Now the examples are running fine, but would there be any problem if i try deploying such projects in a website or as a desktop app? Once the code is compiled into a swf file, the flex framework used doesn't make much difference, does it?
2. Would the AR project run effectively on a website, given various internet/processor speeds worldwide? Would the effectiveness of the AR project, deployed on a website, depend on the number of triangles in the 3D models i.e. dae files? Because as per my understanding heavy models implies more time to download the flash app into the local browser from the internet and more time to render them by the papervision 3D engine right?
3. Can we develop a stand alone desktop AR app using Flash Builder? Using Adobe AIR we can, i guess. Please refer some tutorial, if possible.
4. I've seen that we can implement multiple-marker-tracking AR using vectors/arrays in AS. Would there be any performance issues depending on the size of the vectors/arrays used.
5. Can someone please mention some tips to improve performance of an AR app (desktop app and web app)?
6. What would be, approximately, the cost of FLARManager, FLARToolkit commercial versions, if you have any idea? I've gone through their website but they did not mention the costs.
7. Would applying bitmap material to the dae models pull down the web app/mobile app/desktop app performance, given some 4 to 5 dae models in the scene?
8. Is it advisable to use multiple markers with multiple dae models or single marker with Flash-based GUI option to load different models onto the same marker?
It would be very helpful for me if someone could answer my above queries.
Sarat.

#1, If it compiles then you have no issue. There's no reason at this point not to use 4.6. You should bundle a captive runtime to assure the users computer won't need to have AIR installed at all.
#2, Papervision is old. Use the Stage3D and/or a wrapper framework. As far as the generic "If I download lots of data will it take the user more time to load it", well, of course. Just don't make the loading experience painful. Entertain them while they way or find ways of displaying data sooner than later. If it's desirable on the web has more to do with the context of the app and the device displaying it. In other words, a phone user would find it easy but obviously not a desktop user.
#3, Definitely referring you to Google on that one.
#4, Size always matters, it's common sense. The more you process the harder it is. While I haven't done AR I've used the Microsoft Kinect SDK and ANE and tracking was extremely fast but limited. From what I've seen and your basic built in location and direction hardware on any mobile device you shouldn't have much trouble. Depends on what you're doing.
#5, This discussion would be way too large for a forum. You'd need to consult a firm experienced in AR development.
#6, "Applications using the commercial license do not have to provide source code, but must pay a licensing fee. Contact ARToolworks at [email protected] for more information." They will base your price on your product, there is no single price.
#7, The models could be huge and elaborate or tiny and simple which changes the answer. Consult the answer in #4. Ultimately most people are getting on fast networks with mobile and excessively fast on desktop/wifi. Size matters a lot less than 3 years ago.
#8, Depends on what you're doing. You have to explain it.

Augmented reality on mobile devices (android and ios)

Him, is there already some sort of extension for AIR 3 capable of identify visual tags for augmented reality applications on android and on iOS?

Starting and stopping Video File that is Attached to Augmented Reality

I'm trying to do a little augmented reality. I'm using an action script to call a video and play it. The problem that I'm having is that the sound is starting the moment the window is open and the video plays with the marker is shown. I want the sound and video to only play when the marker is seen. I would like it to pause when the marker is removed and then resume where it left off when the marker is seen again. Here is a copy of my code if someone could look it over and tell me what I'm doing wrong. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just correct my mistake. I don't understand enough about coding for you to just say Netstream.pause() and netstream.resume. I don't know where to put that information in. ANY HELP is appreciated greatly.....

Helpmeun,
   I am still learning PV3D and AR but from looking this is the only thing I can think of.... not exactly sure what you are doing, but if you only want the video to play when the face of the plane with the video is visible... try something like this....
In your AR code.... most people add a listener to the stage or application for the ENTER_FRAME event and use that for doing their maker detection (I use a timer, but either way it is a modification to your event handler function)... something like....
constructor or creationCompleteHandler()
    // FLAR initialization code
   // PV3D initialization code
   stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateRenderHandler, false, 0, true); // This would probably go in your onInit override
The code you are wanting to change is the code in the handler function when it detects or doesn't detect the pattern....
private function updateRenderHandler(hEvent:Event):void
          // Capture the video as bitmap for pattern recognition
          m_hBitmapRenderer.draw(m_hVideo);
            try
               // Redetect and see if it is high confidence.... then update and show
                if ( m_hFLARdetector.detectMarkerLite(m_hFLARraster, 120) && ( m_hFLARdetector.getConfidence() > 0.75 ) )
                    // Get and set transform matrix from detector and update model
                    m_hFLARdetector.getTransformMatrix(m_hFLARtransform);
                    m_hFLARcontainer3D.setTransformMatrix(m_hFLARtransform);
                    // Re-render the scene
                    m_hRenderer.renderScene(m_hScene, m_hFLARcamera, m_hViewport);
                    // Show viewport
                    m_hViewport.visible = true;
                    // !!!!!!! YOUR CODE SHOULD BE
                    m_hNetstream.play();
               // The pattern is not recognized in the video
                else
                    m_hViewport.visible = false;
                    // !!!!!!! YOUR CODE SHOULD BE

No Augmented Reality Because the Compass *****?

The Android platform has several Augmented Reality programs, while the iPhone seems to have none.
Is this because the compass in the iPhone works so poorly that AR cannot be implemented reliably?
And why is OS 3.1 not listed on the pull-down menu below?

My understanding is that the Apple SDK currently doesn't allow these apps to be built for iPhone...
The compass in the G2 is no more reliable than the 3GS...the "compass mode" of google maps on my friends new G2 is very sub par as well...Very glitchy and doesn't register movement well...similar to issues with 3GS compass...can't be perfect lol
This was first done most likely due to the limitations in graphics of the 2G and 3G iPhones...although graphics were good Apple doesn't like apps that don't ensure iPhone is beautifully portrayed
With 3GS graphics are much much better and yet it seems the SDK rules still don't allow them...maybe that'll change soon...
3.1 will be there soon enough...or maybe because they know there is another update on 9/25 for MMS to go live they are not bothering to put 3.1 in until after 9/25 when maybe it will be 3.1.1
Until then give feedback...

File.upload on Air SDK for iOS devices failed to send http request to server.

I am trying to use ActionScript's File.upload to upload a file on Air SDK for iOS8 environment, but the File.upload does not work properly. No handler about the file upload is executed after File.upload is invoked, and no exception is caught. When I check the network traffic of the server side, I found that no http request even hit the server after File.upload is executed. The code snippet here is very simple.
private var file:File;
private var dir:File;
//This method is executed to create a file and upload it when the Upload Button is pressed.
protected function OnUploadButtonPressed(event:MouseEvent):void{
var str:String = 'This is test';
var imageBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
for ( var i:int = 0; i < str.length; i++ ) {
imageBytes.writeByte( str.charCodeAt(i) );
try{
dir = File.applicationStorageDirectory
var now:Date = new Date();
var filename:String = "test" + now.seconds + now.milliseconds + ".txt";
file = dir.resolvePath( filename );
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open( file, FileMode.WRITE );
stream.writeBytes( imageBytes );
stream.close();
file.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, uploadComplete );
file.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioError );
file.addEventListener( SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityError );
file.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, someError);
file.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
file.upload( new URLRequest("http://10.60.99.31/MyPath/fileUploadTest.do"));//This line does not work. No handler is executed. No http request hit the server side.
} catch( e:Error ) {
trace( e );
//Complete Handler
private function uploadComplete( event:Event ):void
trace( "Upload successful." );
//IOError handler
private function ioError( error:IOErrorEvent ):void
trace( "Upload failed: " + error.text );
//SecurityError handler
private function securityError(error:SecurityErrorEvent):void{
trace( "Security error:" + error.text );
//Other handler
private function someError(error:ErrorEvent):void{
trace("some error" + error.text);
//Progress handler
private function onProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void{
trace("progressHandler");
When executed on Air Simulator, it works fine as expected, and the file is successfully uploaded to the server. But When executed on iOS devices(in my case, iPad), as I explain early, no handler about the file upload is executed, and no the http request even hit the server. So I think the problem may be in the client side. It seems that the Air SDK for iOS just failed to send the http request for some reason.
To make my problem more clear, I list my environment below:
Development Environment: Windows7 (64bit) / Mac os 10.9.4 (Tested on OS platforms.)
IDE: Flash Builder 4.7
Air SDK: 3.8 / 16.0.0 (After I updated to the lastest Air SDK 16.0.0 , the problem still exists.)
Application Server: Tomcat7 + Spring
Target OS: iOS 8
I have been struggling for this for days. So I really appreciate it if anyone has any idea about this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi bluewindice ,
As you have quoted ( ActionScript's File.upload does not work on Air SDK for iOS devices ) , this issue has been replicated at our end, and our team will be working on it.
Thanks,

Can I use Publications SDK for merging PDFs?

Hi,
Can i use Publications SDK for merging PDFs.? Logically i think it should be possible.
Scenario:- PDFs will be the report output format for webI, Crystal etc. I will query the repository and get the PDF instances from various BO Reports. Can i use this PDFs as input for Publications SDK? Is there any known limitations?
Please help.
Ted, if you are there please update.
Thanks,
Anu

Thanks Ted. Thats really informative.
Can you please provide a brief description on 'There's an out-of-the-box post-processing extension that merges PDF from Crystal.'
I'm already using Itext. but it is a costly affair as PDF file size is an issue (200 single page PDF results in 8 MB). And seems like there is no otherway around in Itext to compress PDF.
About using WebI and Crystal together, I will export PDF from these and give those PDF as input for Publications.Then it should work. Right?

Porting from JDK 1.2.2 to MS SDK for Java 4.0 - Help!!!

Hi All!
My company is developing big project using WLS 4.5.1. + JDK 1.2.2 + Java
Plug-In 1.2.2 on clients. A lot of applied code depend on Java 2 APIs,
javax/swing is actively used as well. But the customer decide to use
Microsoft VM both on server and client sides - they have support contract
(for other products) with MS and MS may decide to cancel support if our
customer will use Sun JDK and Sun JVM.
So, I have to try to port all project to MS SDK for Java and the question
is: Do I have a chance not to rewrite 100% of my code?
Somewhere I read: ":I've downloaded the new MS Virtual Machine
(msjavx86.exe) that should be compatible to Java2:" - is it really so? Does
anybody knows if MS will support Java 2 platform specifications? As I found
at MS, latest MS JDK 4.0 (on which WLS 5.1 can run) meets specification of
Java 1.1 and after installing it I found that I must rewrite about 90% of my
code. Can someone clarify the situation with MS JDK?
Thanks in advance,
Andrey Bogush
PS: Any information, links, documents, overviews on how to persuade the
customer to use Sun JDK and JVM against MS one are VERY and STRONGLY welcome

Personally, I think it would be a big waste of time to port working
Java2 code to JDK 1.1 just to run MS's JVM.

Web Dynpro Java Application for Handheld Device

Hi everybody,
I have been reading some documentation about what is the best option to create an application for handheld device. So this is my landscape. I have SAP Netweaver 7.4 SR1 AS ABAP, and Java instance. So, I want to know whether is possible to create a normal web dynpro java application and then visualize this application on Browser of handheld device. That's all that I have to do? I read that exist another solution Developing mobile application for handhelds. By other side a need to know how to is the integration of this device with this application if exist. This application is going to consume data from SAP Backend system, so I just have to create JCO's for connect this application to this system, right?
Please, can you help me with that.
Best Regards.

Hi Deepti,,
Refer to the following thread which says that you must retrieve the data from the CRM backend system using standard BAPI's or customer Remote enabled function modules (socalled RFC's) and to access the backend system you will have to set up an RFC connection with CRM system.
Regarding web dynpro and CRM

Use vCloud SDK for Java to integrate with vCD 5.6

Hello Folks,
         Newbie here.
         I have a situation where a home grown app, that uses vCloud SDK for Java to invoke a vCloud Director 5.1 installation. We use this for powering on/ off a few VMs.
         Our installation is being upgraded from vCloud Director 5.1 to 5.6.
         My question is, are we expected to upgrade/ carry out any code changes to our current implementation to integrate with the newer runtime version (5.6)?
         Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Mohan

Somewhat going from memory here.
As long as the REST API Versions URL states that it is compatible with 5.1, then you should be fine to make the calls as v5.1.
Here is the section of the documentation for that:
Using the vCloud API with vCloud Director
The I think the SDKs are just wrappers in a manner of speaking. They all eventually translate code (java/python/etc) into a REST API system that is sent into vCloud Director via the API. For the most part, I think it'll work.
That's not talking about "support", just that it should work with some exceptions. I don't know if there is an official stance on cross compatibility like this.
