Augmented Reality using: Appcelerator Titanium

Speaker – Trevor Ward @thewarpedcoder

Time – 11.00AM – 13.00PM

Synopsis.

This talk will explain how to create a location based Augmented Reality Solution, using the Appcelerator Titanium Framework. At the moment this is a work in progress of a new book explaining how to implement the solution with code examples and real time data.

The aim is to dispel the myth that Augmented Reality has to be clunky and resource heavy, with an easy to use and implement solution which works.

In the session I will be looking at working with the Facebook Graph API
and Flash. Starting where the Flash Facebook Cookbook starts we’ll cover relevant background theory on how the APIs work – how to authenticate applications and obtain access tokens, how to request data from, and send data to Facebook, and how to obtain Extended Permissions from the user.

I’ll be using Flash Builder and the Flex framework to show examples of how everything works in practice, and then we’ll have a look at the possibilities and limitations of what you can do with Flash and Facebook.

Unfortunately we have to cancel this Saturday’s meeting. Our speaker, Mark Doherty has been taken ill and cannot commit to the meeting.

Please accept our apologies for the late notice but it could not be helped.

We will be meeting again in November and the details for that meeting will be posted here shortly.

Late last year we saw the first set-top
boxes featuring Adobe AIR
technology, and Samsung has recently announced that AIR for TV will ship on their TVs later this year. Mark shows how the TV has become
the next frontier for Flash Platform developers.

We will also be taking a look at some of the latest developments from
the worlds of Stage3D, Mobile and Adobe Edge.
