FYP2 : Critique 1 pt 2
Title
Augmented Reality : Shopping Virtually
Background
Online shopping has becoming a trend in our country. It's so much easier than to go out to shopping mall and look for their choice of clothing. It's also helps shopper to save more money on traveling and for driver, saves more gas and at the same time reduce the usage of gas that will be released in the air and thus saves the environment at the same time.
Problem Identification
It is hard to make sure that certain clothing that we shopped online fits exactly our size.
Project Title
Choose And Match
Aim and objectives
To improvise the way people to shop online
Motivation
Online blog shops now usually upload certain sizes of the clothing but did not put the exact cutting measurements and confuses the shoppers whether or not he choice of clothing they did fits them or not. Also, some accessories didn't really appear as described.
Ideation and Concept
Shoppers can choose varieties of clothing more efficient, also can try out some other accessories as to look at in details virtually before buying them out online. This application may not be able to work online but definitely will be the stepping stone for the attempt to use augmented reality to shop online as a possible way to make it, a reality.
Design Concept
Augmented Reality. Real-Time Camera Detection

FYP2 : Critique 1 pt 1
For 6 long weeks I've been working on my biggest concern for my fyp project, which is to create an augmented reality application with multiple markers. Previously, I only managed to get single marker only to work and didn't have any idea on how to create multiple markers work simultaneously. So after 6 long weeks of research and studies from other programmers, I finally managed to get it done.
As promised ; here I only display 2 markers that worked because my hands are full and the papers were so big to hold more than 2. What's left for me to do now is to create the content for this application and replace them with the cubic boxes that was included in the open source as dummies/examples that I found ( which ended up I had to modify and rewrite a few lines in the coding sheet to get it working ).
With multiple markers, I can have other options to superimpose not 1 but 2 or more items on users body. Also, I can add on some other accessories for instance, earrings, wrist watches, bangles, and others like what our lecturer, Mr. Kok Yoong and suggested to me during my consultation with him, which is to create an application more than just an Augmented Reality application.
However, I've decided to drop out the interface buttons that I planned to include in the application. What I proposed on last trimester was in this application later on, there will be buttons for user to switch to other designs of clothings. I've decided not to do it because I've yet to figure out how and it will take more than enough time given to complete it. Now, I have ample time to create the content for this main application.
Next update is about proposal that I've finalized for this application.

FYP2 !
Haven't really updated this blog since the last submition which was last trimester. Of course I do have progress.
My biggest concern for my application was how to create multiple markers for Augmented Reality. Recently on my last few updates, I managed to create only 1 marker to get it work. Now I can create up to 24 markers, which was a surprise to me as I could really get it done!
Will post up a few screenshots later on my next update.

Content Acuisition
Title
Choose and Match
Background
Online Shopping, Augmented Reality, Virtual fitting room
Problems
Hard to find clothes online that fits us
Dissatisfaction after online purchase, the feeling of regret.
Motivation
Was totally mesmerized when I first saw an augmented reality online. Was initially
motivated when I saw a video somewhere by accident before we started this FYP class
when the person posted a video of himself wearing a virtual Roman plate armor. And I
thought “why not we create something similar but make it a virtual fitting room for
online shopping?”

FLAR Toolkit
After a few test runs and editing prototype which doesn't seem to bring out a good result, I've came across with a better solution, which is using FLAR Toolkit; meaning that this project will be entirely flashed based.
Here are some of the screenshots :
(ps: i didnt print the marker out so, I merely point my webcam towards the monitor screen)
FLAR Toolkit application
marker
calibration with the webcam
The problem in the future later would be the camera. I've tested the calibration with my webcam and it was very slow. Maybe a higher resolution HD camera can solve the problem.
Also, since the application is entirely flashed based, I've found out how to tackle the problem that I've discussed with Mdm Forest last week; regarding on how to create GUI interface in the application.
Hopefully, with the amount of time given next semester, I can complete the project in time.
