Konstruct AR 3D Sculpture App Free Download Download MarkerView Flickr Gallery Konstruct is an investigation into generative art in an Augmented Reality environment. It is a sound reactive AR experience for the iPhone that allows the user to create a virtual sculpture by speaking, whistling or blowing into the device's microphone. A variety of 3D shapes, colour palettes and settings can be combined to build an endless collection of structures. Compositions can be saved to the device's image gallery. You will need to print the marker to use this app.

A handy table of AR development platforms

A mobile encyclopedia of where you are. Tell a story.

Layar's Developer documentation site. With Layar's mobile augmented reality platform, third party developers can create various types of engaging AR experiences, such as recognizing real world objects and displaying digital experiences on top of them with Layar Vision, creating interactive features like 3D objects and animation. Location based layers help users find nearby locations, including restaurants, shops and other businesses, as well as historical locations and monuments.

PorPOISe is a server for Layar clients. It converts your data sets of POIs (Points of Interest) into responses to the Layar client. Things like JSON formatting and distance calculation are all done for you. PorPOISe supports XML files and SQL databases as data stores.

Creative ideas for augmenting libraries with AR

Projects built using ARIS. An open AR platform.

Lets you quickly and easily add your own information overlays to create your own AR Application. Each piece of information added to a specific location is called a Point Of Interest (POI). A collection of POIs is called a Layer. buildAR provides you with a web-based tool to add, search and manage your own Layers and POIs.

Save yourself the pain of developing, maintaining, and scaling your own Augmented Reality Point-of-Interest search in the Cloud. You and your users bring in the data...and NakdReality provides the instant gratification! Using our flexible API, we output your information onto Layar's AR browser, our location browser, and your own website, to powerfully present your data with the NakdReality search engine that is right for you and your users.

Links to AR resources as they pertain to education

This is an interesting use of AR. A "Does it Fit" problem. Could be used in courses where "fit" is a concept... i.e. the virus/protein problem, but also engineering courses?
