A guide to Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality gathers a wide variety of user experiences. We distinguish 3 main categories of Augmented Reality tools.

• Augmented Reality 3D viewers, like Augment, allow to place life-size 3D models in your environment with or without the use of trackers.
• Augmented Reality browsers enrich your camera feed with contextual information. For example, you can point your smartphone at a building to display its history or estimated value.
• Augmented Reality games create immersive gaming experiences, like shooting games with zombies walking in your own bedroom!

Augmented Reality devices

Augmented Reality can be used on all screens and connected devices :

• On smartphones and tablets, Augmented Reality feels like a magic window. Hundreds of Augmented Reality apps are available on iPhone, iPad and Android.
• On PC and connected TV, Augmented Reality works with a webcam, which can be quite cumbersome when you have to manipulate a tracker in front of your screen.
• On connected glasses and lenses, Augmented Reality feels like being Robocop.

What you need:

Sample dynamic flash template from any website

Sothink SWF Decompiler

Macromedia Flash

Yourself

1. Browse or search your favorite dynamic flash template in any website. If you got one... click the "view" link and new window will open with dynamic flash.. loading...

2. If the movie fully loaded, click View -> Source in your browser to bring the source code of the current page and in the source code, search for "IFRAME" and you will see the iframe page. In this example were going to try the 7045 dynamic template. get the URL(ex. webstealer.images.templatemonster.com/screenshots/7000/7045.swf) then paste it to your browser... easy eh? wait! dont be to excited... erase the WEBSTEALER and change it to "www" then press enter then you'll see the flash movie again "icon_smile.gif".

3. copy the URL and download that SWF file.. use your favorite download manager.. mine I used flashget icon_smile.gif

NOTE: dont close the browser we may need that later on.

4. open your Sothink SWF decompiler... click "Quick Open" then browse where you download your SWF/movie file. Click Export FLA to export your SWF to FLA, in short, save it as FLA "icon_smile.gif"

5. Open your Macromedia FLash and open the saved FLA file. press Control+Enter or publish the file... then wallah! the output window will come up with "Error opening URL blah blah blah..." dont panic, that error will help you where to get the remaining files.

6. Copy the first error, example: "7045_main.html" then go back to your browser and replace the "7045.swf" to 7045_main.html press enter and you'll see a lot of text... nonsense text "icon_lol.gif" that text are your contents...

NOTE: when you save the remaining files dont forget to save with underscore sign (_) in the front on the file without the TM item number (e.g. 7045) if it is html save it as "_main.html" and same with the image save it as "_works1.jpg" save them where you save the FLA and SWF files. Continue browsing the file inside Flash application so you can track the remaining files... do the same until you finish downloading all the remaining the files.
