Augmented Reality Exercises for Interaction Design

Developing Interactive Augmented Reality Applications

The purpose of this individual assignment is to develop interactive augmented reality applications. You will use AR.js an augmented reality library and Α-Frame a virtual reality library. You must first create a Github account, using the university email, and then fork the repository. Finally, you have to complete all the tasks described in the open issues of the assignment.

Initial Settings

• As long as you have forked the repository, the executables and the assets of the augmented reality applications must have been copied in your github repository.

• Activate Github Pages in the Settings of your reposity and change the link of your repository to target your application.

Setting up the Web Application Development Environmnent

• You can use Github Desktop to download the files from your repository locally on your computer.
• Afterwards, you have to use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to edit the html and javascript source code. Suggested ΙDE: Brachets or Αtom.
• Additionally, you have to set up a local web server, so you can run the Web applications locally, while you develop them. See the instructions here. Suggested Web server: python 3 http.server.
• After you develop the augmented reality applications, according to the tasks described in the issues, you have to use Github Desktop to upload the local files from your computer on your repository. In this way, the applications will run directly on Github Pages.

Attention: For assessing the applications and grading the individual assignment, all executables (.html) and assets must be uploaded on your Github page.
