This is my Final Year Project, developed during my final year at Teesside University.
The original aim of the project was to provide a means of locating and discovering various assets on a process industry plant. This was done through Augmented Reality on an Android device.
Currently, the project is very much in alpha stage, having mainly been built to satisfy my thesis.
The application comes in three main parts:
- 2D Aerial Map
- Detail View
- Augmented Reality
The map is provided using the GoogleMap API's, and hooks into the main data processing part of the application.
Using the Master/Detail template provided by Eclipse, asset details can be viewed. This activity is accessed via the main map activity.
A late addition (and still teething) is the augmented reality activity. Currently assets are drawn onto a canvas, which has yet to be overlayed above the custom camera class.
Again, the application is very much in alpha, and many cases not fully complete. For the most part, the AR part of the application requires some serious TLC.
I will not list bugs at this point, as the application is very much still being built.
Miru has been built to satisfy my Uni thesis, but I would very much like to continue work. Firstly I very much want a data connection implemented. Secondly my intention is to have at least a stable system, and iron out the critical issues in the system.
The long term plan is to thoroughly rip out the data part of the system, and convert Miru into a generalised application. The concept will mean that any client be more than able to create there own assets and import them into the system.
Feel free to keep up with progress on Miru on my site.
