  • Measuring Bags in Augmented Reality
    Masaryk University Faculty of Informatics Measuring Bags in Augmented Reality Master’s Thesis Arcadii Rubailo Brno, Spring 2019 Masaryk University Faculty of Informatics Measuring Bags in Augmented Reality Master’s Thesis Arcadii Rubailo Brno, Spring 2019 This is where a copy of the official signed thesis assignment and a copy ofthe Statement of an Author is located in the printed version of the document. Declaration Hereby I declare that this paper is my original authorial work, which I have worked out on my own. All sources, references, and literature used or excerpted during elaboration of this work are properly cited and listed in complete reference to the due source. Arcadii Rubailo Advisor: Vlastislav Dohnal i Abstract Augmented reality technologies have become more available in the mobile sector. It creates an excellent opportunity to improve a mobile service by introducing AR experience for users. There is plenty of handy AR frameworks, which can assist in build- ing an Android application with augmented reality. It is beneficial to do research on picking the right one. This thesis aims to determine a way how to build an AR tool for the Kiwi.com application. This feature should help its users to avoid additional fees for excess baggage by introducing AR bag measuring tool for Android smartphones. Based on the research of similar feature implemented by Kiwi.com’s competitors and survey of available AR frameworks, the best way to develop the feature is to combine the usage of Android camera API, ARCore SDK and OpenGL ES. The result of the work indicates that the selected tools can provide sufficient functionality to build the AR bag measuring tool, which is convenient to use by Kiwi.com customers and provides accurate results.

  • Mark Salas Oriented Orienteering with Lots of Fun Surprises
    The Wild Times August 2018 ROC helpline: (585) 310-4ROC (4762) Web site: roc.us.orienteering.org Find us on Facebook and on Meetup.com The official newsletter of the Rochester (NY) Orienteering Club ROC President's Corner... by Doug Hall "A volunteering safety bearing" Many of us have had the experience while orienteering of becoming "lost". I have had this experience myself on more than one occasion. It can feel scary not knowing exactly where you are, especially when you don't see or hear other runners . However, there is almost always a sure-fire way to get back to civilization. The "safety bearing" can help you find a road or path to get back to the lodge. It has occurred to me that I have never been truly lost; I always had that safety bearing. I also was never truly alone, because there were people who knew where I had gone and who were awaiting my return. They even knew approximately how long I had been out in the woods. Those people weren't even that far away, really. Coming to this realization turned a scary experience completely on its head. It felt pretty good! Our club is made up of really great people. Volunteers organize and run all of our events, which is one of the reasons why orienteering is such a great bargain in the realm of sports and recreation. There are people who volunteer to create or update the highly detailed maps we all use. Other people volunteer to design multiple courses for an event, so everyone who shows up has an appropriate choice available to them.
