The Pixel Farm

Another update from the addictive world of Flash AR.  Here’s a quick mockup of the Solar System that fits in the palm of your hand!  I realize that the scale / distances / rotations / speeds are way off, but it’s a start!  There seems to be some performance issues that I think are coming from unoptimized textures – I’ll clean this up soon.

To try this yourself you can do the following:

1. Click on this symbol and print out a copy

   

2. Click here to access the Flash video
3. Click the ‘Start’ button
4. When prompted, let Flash access your webcam.  Note that if you are on a Mac you may need to tell the Flash player to use the correct webcam.  You can do this by right-clicking on the movie and selecting ‘Settings’ – then click on the camera icon and select ‘USB Camera’
5. Hold up the symbol to your webcam to view the simulation
