We had to configure all the software one needs to perform light testing sessions at home. Therefore I had to fight against some badass Visual C++ difficulties and to print out calibration and marker sheets for my webcam. Afterwards I needed to configure the 'Studierstube' software which does all of the image tracking work. It is a common project of both Universities of Technology of Graz and Vienna. Finally I simply had to calibrate my webcam. You don't want to know what this means... ;-)
To prove that it has been me who did all the work I had to take a screenshot of myself together with one virtual object and my matriculation number.
So here's what I got out of it. Note that the blue cube on the right is indeed a virtually created object. This means it is not actually there. It is projected by the 'Studierstube' software and follows the movement of the marker sheet in a completely real way. As well the correct illumination of the cube is computed by the software:
It's really not too difficult yet and as you can see it makes a lot of fun. I really love this work and perhaps this is kind of a thing I want to do for a living in the future. :-)
Yours, Max
