I told you before that I’m gonna talk about another Augmented Reality framework. The framework is a great product from one of Augmented Reality’s early adopter namely Wikitude.
Generally speaking, it’s more complicated than Mixare but offers more customization and definitely more features. I’m gonna build this tutorial with the following features: External Data Source - I’m using JSON from Urbanesia.com API. In-app WebView bindings - To display WebViews of any POIs URL.

Lately, there’s been quite an amount of traffic to my blog related to Mixare. So I figure why not share more insights. You are most welcomed to share too by commenting this or other Mixare posts.
To be honest, I’ve been focusing my efforts with another yet closed source Augmented Reality viewer in Android. I will post a tutorial soon.
From all the frameworks I got my hands on, I must say Mixare is the simplest and most definitely easier to implement than any other frameworks.

Today was a loooong day. Started the day with a meeting with @farry till late in the afternoon and went back to the office to do some more work for Android. Coupled with 3 very bad experiences in 1 day from XL, it’s a long and complete day. I thought why not make some fun by building a hackintosh?
I have 2 unused PCs at home and I’m not wasting them.

Since the subscription started back in November 2009, I was happy. Now as it turns out, something so good couldn’t be that good.
I’ve been their evangelist because of how satisfied I am with their unlimited internet package. Can you imagine I got 1Mbps with HSDPA coverage. A very good speed remembering the internet speed climate in Indonesia.
Now I’m deeply disappointed. This past week, today was the second time I wasn’t able to get any internet.

This Thursday night is a moment where innovation and most importantly being local matters. The potentials and ideas that we as Indonesians have are off the chart and I mean that! Indonesian Startups need mentoring and that’s a confession.

Before I start, while searching for a good picture of a Nexus One, I opened up Google’s official Nexus One web page. The Nexus One picture was actually a Flash applet lol. I hope this means that Google and Adobe are now soulmates lol.

Wow it’s been too long since I actually do any hands-on coding with PHP. This time I’m choosing Code Igniter as my framework of choice for an e-commerce project for one of Mediafusion’s client.

After these past few weeks dwelling with complicated Java and all its glory, going back to my comfort zone, it felt great! I really feel that this is the right time to code in PHP again.

Good evening to you guys before I start.
[flashvideo file=http://www.bango29.com/mixare.flv /]
I’ve been in guerilla mode for Augmented Reality solutions these past few weeks and I found Mixare to be one of the best to date. It’s Open Source and have put enough knowledge in my head to make my own app. I wanna share the knowledge I got from Mixare. This is my contribution.
Before starting, please make sure you have all the requirements of a regular Android development environment.

Today around 6 PM in the evening, my Blackberry’s time was messed up. The time for no reason was changed to 00:00. I checked my Date/Time settings and found something not right.
My operator is XL and what I like from XL is that it supports Network Time sync with my Blackberry. I choose to sync the time and what I found was the Network Time was set at the same 00:00 the next day as my Blackberry.
