ARf, an Augmented Reality Virtual Pet on the iPhone
This is a first peek at an augmented reality virtual pet game being developed for the iPhone in the GVU Center’s Augmented Environments Lab at Georgia Tech. The game is far from done, but there’s enough to it right now to show off some of what will be possible. (Kudo’s to Kimberly Spreen for getting this going). More info can be found here

WP Cumulus Flash tag cloud by Roy Tanck and Luke Morton requires Flash Player 9 or better.
seriously just a bit of work on that, release it in the app store for like a fiver and it would sell like no tomorrow, you would have no need to finance it! it looks pretty polished already as well.
I’m not too worried; doing a “real” version of ARf (e.g., Nintendogs in AR) is way beyond what we can do in a research lab. If someone wants to finance an AR Game Studio for me, I’ll be happy to work on it.
LoL. Sony just released a demo video of Eyepet for PS3. You guys better get cracking on ARf or someone might beat you to the punch now that Sony has brought AR virtual pets to the public’s attention.
pretty cool.
Beats the snot out of Nintendogs. Anyway, here’s an idea… get rid of the markers. Have the user take a pic of the area, & use virtual markers they drag & drop onto the scene from a little menu @ the bottom of the screen. Not exactly markerless tracking, just virtual markers in the user defined area. That’d be the best way to get it in the app store, but really hard to do on the iphone.
porfavor no lea esto (me obligaron)

nick vendra por toda tu familia
haslo o moriran porfavor hasme caso
yo lo lei y lo hise & si es verdad..la familia de un amigo murio hace una semana
cool technology, but the dog looks like a poop.
What an augmented waste of time! Three minutes of screen-staring for no good purpose other than see how a piece of software recognizes markers on an image. You wanna play? Go outside and climb a tree… if you can find any.
nicely done. I’m working on a AR concept in Flash using FLAR toolkit myself.
lol wow thats cool
1. copy and paste
2. send this to 2 other videos.
3. hold your breath for 10 seconds
4. press refresh twice
3. LOOK AT YOUR HANDS
hey man, how can i do that? do you have any tutorial? pls i want it!!!!!
yes, definitely. Right now, it’s just a tech demo, mostly to evoke what “it could be” … there are lots of things we could do (and would love to do!) if we could release AR games in the app store …
cool, but the movements of the dog could be a bit smoother in the final version. Nice work! 5 stars
wow, nicely done. there’s a market for that.
looks sweet!!!
If it’s real, it was a good job indeed, well done!
This is fascinating.
Nice job Georgia Tech!
Hey bachian, it’s not fake, I promise
We wouldn’t put our university name on it if it was! The characters do disappear when you clip a marker (watch carefully). Note that it’s building up the relational positions of the markers dynamically, which is why you can extend off the first marker. You might also be noticing a bit of camera lag…
That’s really cool. You could put markers in city streets and walk around a virtual world
Yes, I know how it works, it was just a guess… As you can see, even when the camera goes out of the marker view, the 3d character still appears. In augmented reality it would disapear because the application can’t figure out any reference point.
no its not… this is using technology called marker tracking system… u can browse it …..
(sorry if my english bad)
It seems to be fake.
