New API - aframe

  • fix subMarkerControls visibility in babylon.js

    • put subMarkerControls visibility into an external file. with 2 handling for three.js and babylon.js

  • DONE put multimarkers learner on location.search and not location.hash http://127.0.0.1:3000/three.js/examples/multi-markers/examples/player.html#%7B%22trackingBackend%22%3A%22aruco%22%7D

  • port webar-playground on new API

  • once this refactor is done, publish is as AR.js v2.0 with a blog post

  • do a button - display-hittester-plane

    • in three.js and in aframe.js

  • cleanup /three.js/examples

    • which version remains in ar.js session and currently

  • have a source in images and video. in three.js and aframe.js

  • DONE ensure backward compatibility of aframe api

    • it seems works ?

  • remove the area from the trackingMethod

  • better handling of the area stuff in trackingMethod

  • REFACTOR trackingMethod - should i put changeMatrixMode into trackingMethod ?

    • should just drop it ? ??? why insit. it seems trouble
    • it is needed for all the test and all
    • what is trackingMethod ? it is unclear and messy
    • trackingMethod = trackingBackend + defaultAnchorDefinition
    • why single string ? when it is actually 2 things
    • {trackingBackend}/{defaultAnchorType}-{changeMatrixMode}-{smoothed}
    • smoothed controls need to be a parameter
    • it need to be sorted out
    • currently it is only in arProfile... could it be like a profile-string - a preset
    • not something real... it seems too magic/hackish
    • markers-area and changeMatrixMode are about arAnchor
      • (artoolkit|aruco|tango)-(area|hiro|kanji)(modelViewMatrix|cameraTransformMatrix)(-Smoothed)+
      • hiro-cameraTransformMatrix
      • area-artoolkit-modelViewMatrix
      • area-aruco-cameraTransformMatrix
      • what is it on tango ? some fictuous barcode ?
    • trackingBackend is about the session

  • DONE multi-marker learner doesnt work on firefox

  • DONE make trackingBackend switchable in arjs-session.html

  • DONE in aframe, i define .initialised but aframe defined .initialized..!?!?! super error prone

    • rename as in isReady ? better than nothing. good for now

  • DONE to fix build file...

    • make one build for external tracking
    • one build for pure ar.js
    • would that work ?
    • it worked beofre... with aframe. why it doesnt work anymore ?

  • DONE implement working build

    • apparently some issue if artoolkit is included in the build
    • it worked in aframe before... what is happening
    • what if i change the order of the scripts

  • DONE maybe a class arjs-session-debugui.js

    • create the UI
    • let user attach it to the dom

  • DONE buttons aframe doesnt work

    • in arjs system, debugUIEnabled = true/false
    • how to create the scene dynamically in aframe
    • handle that with a reload

  • DONE

  • DONE implement picking in aframe

    • first make it works, then find a good API
    • inside the controlled object

  • DONE in arjs.session.js - TODO change that to a usual this.parameters

    • do emulation layer with display

  • DONE rename arjsmarker aframe component into arjs-anchor

  • DONE rename HitTester into HitTesting

  • LATER aruco got perspective issue - likely camera init

  • DONE markerhelper fails IF changeMatrixMode===cameraTransformMatrix

  • DONE tango video fails

  • DONE tango tracking is working ? i think so

    • test in both mode
    • tracking only tho, clearly no video

New API

  • honor marker preset

    • hiro + kanji and area
    • old issue with the same markers ?? deep in jsartoolkit

  • clickability works IIF changeMatrixMode === modelViewMatrix

    • change that
    • not a bug, it is just not implemented
    • arjs-hittester and threex-arclickability are messy
    • clean those 2. no need for 2 class ?
    • which API will remain
    • hittester-plane
    • hittester-tango
    • replace ARClickability with something better and port arjs-hittester on top

  • Check it works on all cases

    • no special cases incompatibilities
    • changeMatrixMode
    • tango point cloud fails in cameraTransformMatrix

  • later rename file/class

    • move all THREEx for ar.js as ARjs.
    • remove artoolkit in the name when it is multi backend
    • require to check/change all code
    • can i do a compatibility layer for all the classes
    • thus it is only about changing the files

  • how to handle trackingMethod

    • area-aruco
    • area-artoolkit
    • aruco
    • artoolkit
    • tango
    • arkit
    • best

  • DONE area-artoolkit fails in cameraTransformMatrix

    • wtf ??? so issue upstream ? how to reproduce in three.js
    • is the error in three.js level, or aframe level
    • apparently setting cameraTransformMatrix or modelViewMatrix in changeMatrixMode doesnt change a thing in area-artoolkit
    • area-artoolkit seems to react as if it was always modelViewMatrix

  • DONE remove arSession.onResize2() - thus the API is cleaner

    • do a onResize with a test on argument.length - if not good number call old stuff

  • DONE put the UI in the plugin

    • do a special function for it, and call this function from javascript
    • or more like a data in the system

  • DONE move three.js/arjs-.js in three.js/src/newApi/

  • DONE pick real world with all trackingMethod

    • hit tester with plane

  • DONE button tangoonly pointcloudtoggle

  • DONE full markers area

    • THREEx.ArMultiMarkerUtils
    • button - reset-markers-area
    • button - toggle-marker-helper
    • button - goto-learner

  • DONE tango point cloud visible

New build with multiple tracking

  • support all tracking but split the build
  • ar.js itself
  • ar-tracking-artoolkit.js
  • ar-tracking-aruco.js
  • ar-tracking-tango.js

  • put multi-markers in /src/markers-area

    • /examples/markers-area/ - here all the examples
    • put marker page in this directory too
    • three.js/examples/multi-markers/*.js in /src/markers-area

  • refactor threex-screenasportal as a demo in /examples/markers-area/demo-screen-as-portal

    • this is not a threex

  • remove the arcode generator + marker generator, now that they are in webxr.io

  • move docs/ into its own repository

    • thus no conflict with main repo
    • and it is considered secondery

  • have seen stuff about projection matrix in jsartoolkit

    • would need to recompiled
    • would fix the near/far
    • maybe i can understand the camera calibration number
    • a pure-js to read camera calibration file would be good
    • ARdouble farPlane = 1000.0; in emscripten/ARToolKitJS.cpp
    • what about replacing it directly in artoolkit.min.js ? it should contain it somewhere
      • this.setProjectionFarPlane(1000)
    • what if i set farPlane in js before everything
      • check if the value in the projection matrix change
    • this update the project matrix
    • arglCameraFrustum(&((arc->paramLT)->param), arc->nearPlane, arc->farPlane, arc->cameraLens);
    • this should be called in setNearPlane
    • TRY TO MODIFY THE JS DIRECTLY ?

  • do test with a special webrtc emulation layer

    • so i can download video and/or image - better for testing

  • handle pwa stuff - useful for phone

aframe-ar.js new

  • there is a resize every 1/60 seconds ??
  • test on mobile
  • aframe-ar.js new version
    • support smoother
    • support multi marker - so augmented-website
    • fixed resize
  • resize doesnt support portraiting a landscape ? still true?
  • how to handle the parameters
    • i need to have the profile
    • still it should be possible to change parameteres to offer flexibility
  • support multi trackingBackend
    • do a aruco example

  • port webvr-arbackend

    • one example to read webvr data and display them in html
    • then a full example of 3d webvr tracking
    • in desktop and in tango

  • rename THREEx.ArToolkitContext.getProjectionMatrix into .getArtoolkitProjectMatrix

  • make multi-marker without page reload

  • DONE make multi-markers to support aruco too

    • add arBackend in learner.html input
    • handle arBackend definition in player.html

  • DONE add modelViewMatrix and a smoother in AR.js example ?

    • what would be a good example for aruco feature in ar.js
    • yep add that because this is like the default now

  • DONE ArMarkerControls.markerId is artoolkit specific

    • to rename artoolkitMarkerId for now

  • DONE ArToolkitContext.projectionAxisTransformMatrix is only to correct artoolkit axis

    • it is a kludge to start with
    • make it as contained as possible
    • maybe cached in a ARtoolkit specific function
    • projectionAxisTransformMatrix renamed as artoolkitprojectionAxisTransformMatrix
    • simple, no risk and make it clear it is artoolkit -

  • DONE in trackingbackend-switch put the backend in hash. and offer to switch

    • good for testing

  • DONE all this testing about aruco or jsartoolkit it crappy

    • in artoolkitContext.backend === 'aruco' || 'artoolkit'
    • not very clear + timer to init jsartoolkit
    • so you keep the pointer to context for each. But you test all about the .backend = 'artoolkit'

  • DONE arucocontext has the canvas at the moment - but dont respect the original canvasWidth

  • DONE all the posit stuff MUST be out of aruco context and in controls

  • DONE replace THREEx.ArMarkerControls.notifyFoundModelViewMatrix() by .updateWithModelViewMatrix()

  • LATER: remove all the artoolkit mention in the front as is now multiple backends

    • you got classname with 'artoolkit' in it
    • even exposed in a-frame parameters

  • NOT NOW: threex-aruco layer is really really thin - YET ANOTHER INDIRECTION

    • seems useless indirection for AR.js
    • why not aruco directly
    • you are using jsartoolkit directly
    • YES use aruco directly
    • threex-aruco is at the same level of jsartoolkit
      • keeping them at the same level will help make ar.js more consistent
    • threex-aruco provide standalone testing which is good
    • UNCLEAR at best -

  • can you make it easy to try all your demo with aruco

    • this means supporting aruco in webar-playground
    • so multi markers
    • may even be an option in the json localstorage learned area
    • thus it is easy to switch from one to another
    • the best way to put aruco as first player

  • aruco seems the future

    • there is pure js implementation - readable code
    • there is a cpp implementation too
    • much smaller code
    • well documented code + algo
    • simple algo - easy to understand
    • not too big - i can maintain it myself
    • i got MUCH better controls over the code
    • this lead to ability to tune and experiments with the detection
    • the detection is the core of the business. it MUCH be under controls
    • still issue with homography
    • but can be easily fixed, compared to the huge advantage

TODO

  • if artoolkit arbackend and marker facing camera, then change the tweening

    • specific fix to artoolkit

  • TODO super unclear how to get the backward facing camera...

  • currently webvr is able to do location already

    • why wouldnt i code it all in webvr location, without the stereo rendering
    • well it is too early. it is better to make it easier to reuse.
    • webvr tango isnt mature enougth

  • release soon and start doing dev/master

    • create a dev branch
    • release AR.js as 1.2
    • what about the communication ?
    • make a post on what is new in AR.js
    • ISSUE: i need to deploy dev on gh-pages it helps with https during dev

  • redo parameters-tuning.html

    • all parameters exposed as button - stored as json in url
    • to replace the demo.html in a-frame - which is super broken anyway
    • 3 groups of parameters : source, context, controls. make it 3 group on screen too
  • do the initial tunning of camera resolution to have the same aspect as the screen resolution
    • better precision for my cpu
    • currently it is doing 640x480 by default
    • as it is supposed to be fullscreen, get the screen resolution, instead of the window resolution
      • thus no resize being late issue

  • DONE do a pass on THREEx.ArToolkitSource

  • DONE update link in README.md

  • DONE THREEx.ArToolkitSource.prototype.onResize split it in THREEx.ArToolkitSource.prototype.mirrorSizeTo(blabla)

  • DONE Race conditions in resize

    • arToolkitSource.onResize([renderer.domElement, arToolkitContext.arController.canvas])
    • fails if arToolkitContext.arController not ready
    • change this code, and port is EVERYWHERE :)

  • DONE rename marker generator as marker-training - just because it is what artoolkit said before

    • maybe creator ?
    • training is the same word as before, and seems to do something smart

  • DONE do something to upload marker from image directly instead of .patt

    • this avoid the pain of handling .patt files
    • so get the image encoding it, and then do a dataurl
    • as the data is image

  • DONE THREEx.ArSmoothedControls.minVisibleDelay to 0 ?

    • why would it be worst to show the marker, than to hide it ?

  • DONE bug in resize + debug in context

    • API is still crap tho

  • DONE do the tweening + disapearance with timeout in threex-armarkersmoother.js

    • this is a controls which read a armarkercontrols and output a new smoothed root
    • make a possible delay in the appearance and disapearance

  • DONE put armarkerhelper else where

  • DONE do a threex.armarkershelper.js something which display info on the marker

    • which pattern, etc...
    • an axis too
    • like you did in threex.arealearning.js
    • if controls.parameters.helperEnabled: true, then the controls will add the helper automatically

  • about.me in ar - augmented.club - augmented.whoswho - augmented.cat - augmented.fans - ar.codes

  • release ar.js

    • start working in dev branch
    • more frequent release.

  • moving three.js/ at the root ?

    • it seems more natural. But there is no emergency
    • webvr and aframe in their own repository now that it is more stable ?

  • for refraction, do some deforming mirror effect

    • put dat.gui in it
    • various shape which will act as mirrors
    • cylinder with shrinked middle, dilated middle
    • animated geometry ?

  • see about an example of videoinwebgl + vreffect

  • work on the stereo thing - make the webvr stuff

    • suddently your demo would work on any webvr device
    • does this work if i port video-in-webvr into aframe ? what if we go in webvr mode ?

  • what to do with profile

    • should it be the default ?
    • at least on a-frame it should be the default because it is targeted at easy
    • by default, the setting should be the most common one.
    • aka the one of a phone

  • "Augmented Reality in WebVR" as WebVR experiments... It has a nice twist that i like :) http://www.blog.google/products/google-vr/come-play-webvr-experiments/

  • DONE fix the multimarker and the symlink - it prevents updating ar.js gh-pages

  • DONE add show/hide into arcode.html url

    • thus the apps workflow is finished

  • DONE do a build file threejs/build/ar.js threejs/build/ar.min.js

  • DONE re-integrate dead reckoning

    • rename motion prediction into deadreckoningcontrols - more precise

  • DONE put THREEx.ArToolkitContext.baseURL = '../' in all demo

  • DONE add fish in pool hole-in-the-wall

  • DONE put liquid marker as a single html

    • or a directory, no need to be dirty

  • DONE liquid-table.html

webvr-polyfill

  • GOAL: works well using only the positional tracking, not the stereo display
    • thus it works well with all three.js examples
  • handle resize - currently the canvas isnt using the css it should
    • canvas is sent to the webvr with .requestPresent(layer)
  • webvr polyfill to present in single screen - like smus/webvr-polyfill
    • look at his tuning and do the same
    • just do the call on the webvr-polyfill and see his framedata and all
  • issue with the projection matrix being inverse in y and z
  • LATER: make it work with a-frame

Profile

  • do a threex-artoolkitprofile.js with various performance profile
    • var arToolKitProfile = new THREEx.ARToolKitProfile(type)
    • may be dynamic - for resolution - 'dynamic'
    • type = 'phoneInHand' || 'desktop'
    • thus the user can go a in profiler.html and try various profiles until he find the one he needs
    • then we store that in a cookie, and other applications all use this profile
    • cookie/localstorage makes it stored on the browser, need one profiler per domain tho
    • but no database and no authentication needed
  • DONE artoolkit-profile.html to store the profile in localstorage
    • it allows you to select which profile you like
    • it has a and store it in the storage - desktop-normal - phone-normal - phone-slow - dynamic in ctor, if there is a local storage use this TODO DONE fix projection camera which inversing y axis, and looking toward positive z this affect webvr polyfill in three.js demo currently the source image ratio is always in 640x480 :( the aspect of the webcam should depends on the screens it will improve the accuracy of the marker detection. trackable from further away Idea about performance - js profiling do it on canary. this is the most advanced tool for that POST: optimising AR.js with chromedevtools more than 70% of the time is used to copy the image in the HEAP .drawImage, .getImageData this.dataHeap.set( data ) is 43% of the total if i can send just a pointer on the data... i gain 43% in one shot performance remove copy to heap http://kapadia.github.io/emscripten/2013/09/13/emscripten-pointers-and-pointers.html this explains how to pass a pointer from a typearray to c++ this would avoid the dataHeap.set() - 43%
