Summary of project: This project will use the FLARToolkit framework to explore what is possible with Augmented Reality. Using Adobe Flex and a webcam, users will be able to hold up marker cards to interactively explore the domain of television/movies/hockey? (Haven’t quite decided yet) Some sort of graphical information will be displayed in the Flex interface, possibly a video or animation. User will be able to interact with the GUI by moving the marker card or by clicking on other controls in the UI.

Project Objectives:

• To gain a better understanding of augmented reality and an example framework that implements it (FLARToolkit).
• To create an interesting and fun user interface that takes advantage of the FLARToolkit.
• System and Software: Adobe Flex Builder, FLARToolkit, webcam, laptop
• Project components – GUI built in Adobe Flex.

Project Timeline:

• Week 4 – Get FLARToolkit up and running on my laptop and have the sample application working.
• Week 5 – Finalize what I’m going to display to the user. Begin work on GUI.
• Week 6 – Project Midterm done.
• Week 8 – Finish GUI.
• Week 9 – Finish testing. Present

Final Presentation: The final presentation would just be a demo of my finished GUI. I’ll bring in my laptop and webcam and demonstrate how it works.
