Announcing the Android AR Kit

At long last, I’m happy to announce that the Android Augmented Reality kit is available on github.  Included in the code is a sample application using an API provided by the fantastic guys at foursquare.  The demo is set-up for the screen on the G1/MyTouch.  If you’re running at a different resolution you’ll need to modify some code and build it yourself.

Please feel free to clone, fork, and make it better.  Right now, at least on HTC’s MyTouch, the cpu only has enough power to run the numbers on 10 points at a given time.  I’m in the process of writing up a tutorial about using it.

Stay tuned here for more.

    A good step to make AR even more mainstream.

    Hello,
    great effort, I tried to use the library but went through the code to see what I might be missing on a Droid which is causing it to not work and I noticed that you are not making use of the compass is it true?

    It does use the compass. The code registers for Orientation updates from the device. This is how one can get the compass data out in a simple way.
