“Dice the Arena” . Interactive AR-Application using Junaio

“Dice the Arena” .  Interactive AR-Application using Junaio by Mai-Anh Nguyen, Benjamin Eder, Christian Guerrero and Xaver Loeffelholz

“Dice: The Arena” is an Augmented Reality App using a Junaio channel supported by Metaio. Two players can throw virtual dice. The result is displayed with a short animation of two different goblins. They drop down to the dice and fight each other. The goblin with…

“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle . Junaio Interactive Augmented Reality Application

“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” Complementary Interactive AR-Application using Junaio by Marius Hoggenmüller, David Rasch and Simon Weiser.

This Augmented Reality Application complements the well known book by Eric Carle with interactive 3D content.

This project was created in the course of the university lecture “Practical Course 3D Modeling with Blender” directed by Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Höhl at…

I.

So in the end I figured out how to get all the images I need to track in one index.xml-file: You see how it should like to work in the first pictures,it's for very picture the same procedur. Just make sure it all has his own objectID and KoordinatsystemID to make it work.

II.

For the code of the XML-Tracking file, I just did like before and export it from the Metaio Creator as AREL Package for each picture and assemble all files in one js-file and one index.xml with the help of the programm : WinMerge:

We're in Phase 2 of beta testing for ARchive LAPL, our AR project to augment the historic, downtown Los Angeles Public Library.

We encourage you to test it out too and give us feedback! Here's what you do:

Step one: Download the Junaio app, launch and scan the QR code in the lower, righthand corner to activate our channel.

NOTE: You'll hear a chime and our logo appear in the upper, left corner:

Step two: After launching the Junaio App and scanning the QR code from Step one, you can now point your device to any of these different visual markers to trigger the variety AR experiences we created and placed throughout the Central Branch. (We are only posting a few highlights of our AR experiences here.)

NOTE: Make sure the channel has fully downloaded to ensure functionality.

Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven

This is one of several 3D models we created to showcase the library's incredible rare books collection. (Note: At the location, this visual marker is laying flat, rather than appearing vertically like on your screen.)

Historic Fire

This visual marker is for our experiences around the historic fire that devastated the library in the 80s.

Puppet Show

There is a stage in the back of the Children's section that offers puppet shows Saturdays at 2PM. Since many patrons can't attend, we thought we'd offer an augmented, on-demand version of the show playing a recent performance.

Storytime

Also for the Children's section, we'll have books kids could use to trigger several (public domain) stories. We have four in English and one in Spanish.

Special Collections

In addition to rare books, the library as unique special collections that range from beautiful maps to vintage menus. This visual marker allows you to see their menu collection and hear from one of the collectors that donated the menus to the library.

The Sphinxes

There are a pair of sphinxes that guard a statue, each holding a book with ancient Greek written on them. You can translate the writing by pointing your device at them.

The Artist

The ceiling of the Main Lobby is covered in a vividly painted mural created by artist Renee Petropoulos. Point your device at this marker to hear an interview with Petropoulos.

Please try these out and send us your feedback! Tweet us by using the #ARchiveLAPL hashtag or email us at arjournalism [at] webjournalist.org.

Again, this is a beta of our channel.

We are no where near our final product, which will be an app. We are working with an AR design firm to create a more advanced and custom AR app, which we aim to launch early next year.

But we wanted to share this with people to get them to understand what we are working toward, even if it is a primitive, working prototype.

So, please try these out and send us your feedback! Tweet us by using the #ARchiveLAPL hashtag or email us at arjournalism [at] webjournalist.org.

// This app was created by USC students: Kaitlyn Mullin, Heather Navarro, Daniella Segura, Sydney Tuss, Serhan Ulkumen, Phoebe Unterman and Sammi Wong. (You are going to want to hire them.)

The class was led by Profe. Robert Hernandez, who received guidance from BC "Heavy" Biermann and support from USC Annenberg.
