There is a lot of buzz around Augmented Reality in Flash and it looks like everywhere you turn another person is writing a tutorial about it. I decided to make a tool to prototype my Flash AR ideas. The FLAREmulator is a set of classes that encapsulate the setup of the FLARToolKit as well as offering a debug mode for you to test your markers with or without a webcam. Getting started with Flash Augmented Reality may seem daunting but this library is a great way to jump in and see immediate results without the fuss of setting up the FlarToolKit or Papervision.

Getting Started

  1. Download the source code from GitHub http://github.com/theflashbum/FLAREmulator

  2. Link your project to the FLARToolKit.swc and Papervision.swc in the build/libs directory.

  3. Create a new class and extend FLAREmulator.as

  4. Override protected function create3dObjects() and add you PV3d container to baseNode:

/**

  • This default function is where 3d Objects should be added to PV3D's
  • scenes.

*/ protected function create3dObjects():void { var plane:Plane = new Plane( new WireframeMaterial( 0xff0000 ), 80, 80 ); plane.rotationX = 180; baseNode.addChild( plane ); }

  1. Compile and begin testing!
