Hand-tracking using Plain Webcam great for Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality uses


As the age of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality is fast approaching, there are tons of devices coming out such as Head Mounted Displays (HMD) like Google Cardboard, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Hololens, Epson Moverio, ODG, and SpaceGlasses. Also, tons of attachments for users control such as Haptics, Leapmotion, SmellVR, Rides, Etc.

But all these are still not available to the public yet as most of the above mentioned devices releases are for developers only as of now.

So me and my team do some research and development in order to bring the “touch experience” to VR and AR using only plain camera (either web cam or the mobile devices back/front cam).

To be cont… busy awhile – client meeting – will be right back

 

SmartGlass App Development in the Philippines

Imagine your next interface will be JARVIS. Yah you will be working like IRONMAN-TonyStarks.

Our team can definitely help you out in making this interfaces possible, let’s convert that web and app of yours to SMARTGLASSES interface 🙂 contact me

It is really very rewarding to see my participants are enjoying and some are setting/getting into game development as they really enjoy the fun time learning about authoring game using Blender 3d.

Thanks to Sir Marlon Torres of General De Jesus College – for the opportunity to share my knowledge 🙂

Intel Galileo 2 package {Arduino} awared by Intel Malaysia 🙂 Team is now even more ready for Robotics/Sensors/Industrial-SoftDev – to those who want to collab – raise your hands (and contact me thru Pm or contact@artpologabriel.com) Lets make Jarvis and Hololens alike interfaces >> other modules needed will follow soon tooIMG_20141223_115907 [800x600] IMG_20141223_120151 [800x600] IMG_20141223_115922 [800x600] IMG_20141223_120135 [800x600]

Google Cardboard, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality :)

Me and my team just created something 🙂

We combined Google Cardboard, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality.

Here is what we come up 🙂 Download the app here

install the app, it will open a your mobile phone camera with split view (stereoscopic mode) then let is see image target below (CLSU logo)

image_tracker_vbuttons

Noticed the colored squares (with rounded corner) – yes they are buttons – try pointing your finger on any of it and notice the TEXT below the interface is identifying which button is selected/pressed. Note: the button will react only if the camera (mobile/tablet) is from around 12 to 20 inches away from the image target.

Bonus: Hand tracking (at basic as of the moment) You can tickle the logo – simply poke it and it will move depending on the direction and speed of the tickle/poke.

We will create a video of it soon 🙂
