Augmented Reality comes to JavaScript - JavaScript でもARが実現出来る #AR
既に事例は幾つか出てきているので、JavaScript でARを実現しているという点は特に珍しいことでない。しかし、利用されるための敷居を下げることができるため、注目すべきであろう。
Last week, Kevin gave us the lowdown on the exciting new getUserMedia device API coming to browsers in the near future, partly thanks to the WebRTC specification (the set of JavaScript APIs for Real Time Communication). I can guarantee you we’ll be seeing more webcam and microphone-related experiments over the coming months!
Apart from the classic “Photo Booth” style apps we’re going to see lots of motion tracking and augmented reality experiments — and natively in the browser. Combine that with 3D graphics via WebGL and wow, imagine the possibilities…
So here are a couple of cutting-edge experiments that show off what will soon be possible. The first comes from the always awesome HTML5 Rocks website, run by Google. Check out this demo of motion tracking which uses a pre-recorded video instead of a webcam as the source. Or try out the real thing if you have Google Chrome Canary installed and have printed out the AR marker:
