ARmsk

Just found yet another AR library for Android called ARmsk. The description sounds promising. But the demo video is kind of shocking. They have like half a frame per second. The code looks like they used a lot of examples, like the OpenGL Cube renderer from the Android API demos and some stuff from the… Continue reading ARmsk

AndEngine

AndEngine is a 2D OpenGL Engine. Actually a game engine. But it has also some small AR extension. I've stumbled upon this project a little while ago but then somehow forgot about it and now rediscovered it. So far it looks promising (even though I already found some kind of "lazy bug" which prevents the… Continue reading AndEngine

[Note] floating-point/fixed-point operations versus OpenGL

From the Android NDK example "bitmap-plasma": We're going to perform computations for every pixel of the target bitmap. floating-point operations are very slow on ARMv5, and not too bad on ARMv7 with the exception of trigonometric functions. For better performance on all platforms, we're going to use fixed-point arithmetic and all kinds of tricks I… Continue reading [Note] floating-point/fixed-point operations versus OpenGL
