Augmented Reality Plug-in for Google Sketch-Up released
-
Hi plot-paris,
thank you very much for your comments.Actually we are still developing the ARplugin. Everything you have been mentioning is already available in our general framework.
First of all, the multimarker capability will be released soon, but I cannot anticipate the release date. You are perfectly correct when you say that this would be extremely useful to urban planners and interior designers as well.
Secondly, the kind of interaction you are envisioning is possible in general using suitable Artificial Vision methods. Depending on market requests we will also consider upgrades of this kind. You can check updates by subscribing to our RSS feed here

thank you again

I have a little doubt.
which is the significant difference between AR Media software, and
AR-media Plugin for Google SketchUp. Of course there are obvious differences, imagine that AR-media,is more complete,standalone software.But the most important.
We know that the cost of the license of the AR-Media Plugin for Google SketchUp is 99 euros.
But the license costs for AR-Media Standalone software?
I'm really interested, I hope you can help me.
Thanks -
Hi m48,
thank you for your enquiry. In few words, ARmedia is Inglobe's platform for Augmented Reality. We can create a lot of different AR solutions on top of it (including multi-marker, AR animations, interactions, Shaders, different tracking methods, Flash AR, HD cameras etc.)
There is a big difference between the ARplugin for SketchUp and ARmedia. Basically, the ARplugin is a product based on ARmedia, whereas ARmedia is the platform that allows us to create different products and solutions. We are not selling ARmedia as a separate product, but only develop it to bring our partners suitable AR solutions.
I hope this helps
Best RegardsGraziano

Hey Jean, what is not working? You have a video camera hooked up to your computer? Have you tested it to make sure it works? Have you printed the card?

Maybe I'm extremely naive (I'm new to Google Sketch-Up, FYI), but I haven't been able to, for the life of me, get this darn plug-in to work. I feel as though the extra plug-in would really help with the design aspect of my various rapid prototype designs. So far, I'm liking Google sketch-up, but I've been trying to get this plug-in to work in the past hour and so far I'm having some trouble. Any idea of what I may be doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have lots of work to get done!
P.S. I'm well aware that this an older post and I apologize. I did a search and I need help. =p

I'm really impressed by this great plugin. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it working for me.
Everything went fine during installation process but immediately after my SU8Pro was started I got an error message saying: "Cannot locate the main files to start the ARMedia Plugin. Corrupted installation.". I tried to install PLE edition as well as trial edition but with the same result. I wonder if there could be some incompatibility between the ARMedia plugin and my Win7Pro x64 OS.
Any idea what could be the root caouse of this?
PS: I downloaded the latest version which was available today, on 19th April 2011.

Hi atheross,
luckily enough I had chance to read your message.
Some users on Windows OS are actually reporting this problem. This happens because the installer sets some environment variable and Windows, sometimes, requires to restart the system. Once they restart the system everything goes as expected. Have you already tried to restart the computer? In case you have not, please, check if this is a solution. Otherwise, send an email to our support team at http://www.inglobetechnologies.com and you will surely get assistance.
ThanksGraziano

Bonjour Graziano,
there was not enough time to test it yesterday but I took it one more chance, reinstalled it once again and restarted the system as you've suggested. Many thanks to you. Finally it helped and I spent lot of funny time with this amazing plugin. I'm thinking about PRO license purchase but 99€ is quite much at this moment. I'll be waiting for special price offers or until I'll get a job where this plugin could make my life easier
I see many opportunities where to use this plugin. You guys made a great job.Salute,
Atheross. -
Come mai nessuno scrive più in questo thread da anni? E' quello ufficiale di assistenza. Boh.
Sto imparando ad usare il plugin per Sketchup per vedere scene in android, ma non riesco a capire bene cosa è gratis e cosa no, cosa può fare il player android e cosa non può fare...
Per esempio: io vorrei sovrapporre semplicemente la foto di un oggetto all'oggetto stesso per far vedere com'era prima, osservato da un certo punto di vista. Come devo fare? Posso usare come marker una foto dell'oggetto com'è adesso?
I marker 3d sono supportati dal plugin sketchup e dalla licenza free?
I marker devono essere per forza orizzontali? -
Can I use an image of the front side of a building as a marker for a model of the building itself?
How? -
