Drawing basic shapes
Making my way through the Drawing basic shapes recipe from the Processing 2 Creative programming cookbook source code on GitHub. In this recipe I learned how to use the rect, ellipse, quad and triangle functions to draw basic geometric shapes. I also found it interesting how two for loops are used to create the grid background pattern. I’m curious […]

Keyboard interaction
Making my way through the Keyboard interaction recipe from the Processing 2 Creative programming cookbook source code on GitHub. In this recipe I learned about using keyPressed, keyReleased and keyTyped functions to assign keys on the keyboard to execute code and also a bit more about if tests and declaring variables, particularly changing their values when specified keys are […]

Mouse interaction
Making my way through the Mouse interaction recipe from the Processing 2 Creative programming cookbook source code on GitHub. In this recipe I learned about the mouseClicked, mouseDragged, mouseMoved, mousePressed and mouseReleased functions. I also learned about the mouseX, mouseY, pmouseX, pmouseY, mousePressed and mouseButton variable. The mouseButton variable allows you to determine if the left, right […]

Maths functions
Making my way through the Maths functions recipe from the Processing 2 Creative programming cookbook source code on GitHub. In this recipe I learned about declaring variables and the abs, ceil, floor, round, sq, sqrt, min, max, and dist functions. I also learned how to use the println function to display output of functions to the Processing console window. […]

Using a for loop to draw lines
I wanted to draw a grid. Previously, I specified each horizontal and vertical line in my sketch. Totally boring, inefficient and completely inflexible way to draw repetitive lines. So, I checked out the Processing reference on for loops and then applied that methodology to my existing sketch. Tight! This could be the method to use to […]

Drawing lines
This probably isn’t the most efficient way to draw lines to form a grid pattern, but this method is helping me to understand the coordinate system. The most efficient way would probably be to use a for loop. They’re next.

My first sketch
Making my way through the My first sketch recipe from the Processing 2 Creative programming cookbook source code on GitHub. In this recipe I learned about the size (displayWidth and displayHeight have now replaced screenWidth and ScreenHeight), setup, draw, point, line and strokeWeight functions.

Know your audience
Evidence of a multinational bank that has taken the time to research the audience/market in a suburb where one of their branches is situated. This suburb has a high Chinese and Korean business community. Each community group would be seen as a potential customers by the bank. With this in mind, the bank has applied […]
Octo is the ultimate master on the audio mix. With suction cups covering the underside of each of his eight arms, Octo is able to make the best song selections and manipulate playback in response to the crowd. Octo also arrives at each soundclash equipped with his own sound system.

One of the items included in my list of ‘What’s next’ to be considered for development in future iterations of augmented contextual instruction is to depart from the use of proprietary augmented reality platforms and pursue the development of device and platform agnostic augmented contextual instruction and additional augmented reality experiences for display in web […]
Something new. Advertising on the outside of Melbourne’s Metro Trains. An uncommon sight. This could be a test for a possible revenue stream for the franchise operator of our suburban railway network.
The Jesus Lizard t-shirt from their Australian tour in the 90’s. Circa Down. It was once ordained with signatures from the band and additional sweet words from lead singer Dave Yow. This old band t-shirt has finally been discarded.
From their Australian tour in the 90’s before they were really famous and Keith started singing. The bass at that show was pulverising. So good. This old band t-shirt has finally been discarded.
For the years of faithful service, I say gracias. This old band t-shirt has finally been discarded.
Pavement’s tour t-shirt from their Melbourne show in the 90’s. Circa Slanted and Enchanted. It was a good show. This old band t-shirt has finally been discarded.

Using Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) or mapping a room (creating a 3D point cloud) or environment with Metaio Toolbox could be a solution to the challenge of using markers placed on the floor to trigger and then engage with an augment containing a 3D object modelled to scale.
Screen captures from the completed image-tracking augmented contextual instruction user experience. The augmented contextual instruction is made up of a sequence of junaio channels that can be browsed in the junaio AR browser. For this example, the channels were browsed using junaio on an iPad.

Someone in the Metaio Developer Portal said they’d heard the UI Designer in Creator was made for iPhone4 screens and the created UI design is not responsive to different screen sizes. I think that someone may have heard correctly. Damn!
Save. Upload. Wait. Test. Tweak. Save again. Upload again. Wait again. Test again. Tweak again. Almost there! And another thing. It’s been 11 days since I posted my issue with Z translation of buttons in UI Designer of Metaio Creator 2.6 to the Helpdesk of the Metaio Developer Portal and there hasn’t been one response! […]

Fridge magnets out in the open
Fridge magnets, a photo by Rowan Peter on Flickr. “What we plan for the use of something is not necessarily how people will use it and we don’t necessarily dictate how they use it. We open it up and we hope for the best and a lot of the times we are surprised.” It’s still […]
Placing geometry in the 3D point cloud in Metaio Creator 2.6 is a little cumbersome, bewildering and often inaccurate. It takes lots of clicking and seemingly random fiddling to place geometry. You also can’t really determine if your geometry is placed correctly within the 3D point cloud until you upload to your channel and then […]
