Augmented Reality Tutorial (PART 2 ─ Download repository )

PART 2 ─ DOWNLOAD FLARTOLLKIT & PAPERVISION 3D


1) If you never having experience using SVN, you need to install it first. Most flash library are stored in SVN, download and install SVN to make it easier downloading FlarToolKit and Papervision 3d or you need to download each individual files manually.

For PC (Windows)  → TurtoiseSVN
For Mac (OS X) → SVNX

2) After TortoiseSVN installed, launch it.
     - right click ► SVNCheckout

  

i) Download FLARToolKit

URL of repository : http://www.libspark.org/svn/as3/FLARToolKit

[ Wait untill the files finish downloading ]

Augmented Reality Tutorial (PART1 ─ MARKER )

What is AR?

Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. ─ Wikipedia

Okay, the tutorial started with designing the marker. How? Follow the step below :

PART 1 ─ MARKER

[ My marker ]

2) Download and install 'marker generator' AIR application.
3) Print out your own customize marker.
4) Run 'marker generator' AIR and save the pattern. (the format for this marker is *.pat)

HTTP Handlers and HTTP Modules

HTTP Handler

- refered as endpoint

- runs in response to request made in application

- modules that handle the response

- common page handler = *.aspx, web service handler = *.asmx

- typical uses : RSS feeds, Image server

HTTP Modules

- called on every request made by application

- function handle the content

- examine incoming and outgoing request + take action based on request

- typical uses : security, statistic & logging, custom header & footer

- also uses to implement various application features, which includes forms authentication, caching, session state, and client script services.

Starting point :

IHttpHandler

- HTTPHandler (synchronous handler)

- Not return until HTTP request called process finished.

IHttpModule

- HTTPModule

IHttpAsyncHandler

- Asynchronous handlers

- runs process independently sending response to user.

- must implement the BeginProcessRequest & EndProcessRequest method

Source code puts in App_Code folder, when compiled put in Bin folder

Developed using IIS 6.0, can be used in IIS 7.0 (with a little/no change)

Creating HTTP modules

1) implements IHttpModule interface

2) write handler for Init method

* append something to response, uses EndRequest event

* perform custom authentication logic, uses AuthenticationRequest event

3) Write the code that you used.

4) Implement Dispose method for cleanup (optional)

5) Register module in Web.config

Creating HTTP handler
creating a class that implements the interface.

Moodle favicon

This entry is about how to change the moodle favicon. What is favicon? Well, favicon is somewhat icon that will be displayed at your browser. It will caught the user attention and can take effect on the website branding. It will make it easier for the user to remember your website just referring to the favicon that displayed.

In moodle, the default favicon is :Then we manage to change it to our own favicon. You can design it by using photo editor or whatever application that allow us to design some kind of logo. Then convert it to *.ico file. Just remember, you cannot simply just save the image as *.ico. I use this website to convert it. Please make sure your image is in 16x16 size.

My favicon :
Step 1 : If you are using the default theme, go to yourproject file - theme - standard. Paste yourfavicon.ico

Step 2 : Go to yourproject file - theme - standard - header.html

At the line : Please make sure the *.ico name is the same as the one you paste just now.

Step 3 : Open your browser, then clear the cache.
Step 4 : Refresh, then taraaa..there you can see your favicon! :)
