Augmented reality with LiveCode ?

Hi Sergio,

Currently there are no tools (that I know of) to do Augmented Reality in
livecode, but that does not mean that it cannot be done.

It really depends on what you mean by AR.  

There is AR where you overlay a video feed with data based on your position
and where you are looking at - this can probably be done with some maths and
a way of putting information on a video feed (an overlay).

The other AR most people think of is where you display some 3D model over a
video feed (with position/orientation feedback) - this version cannot be
done with Livecode as it is now.  LC does not have any useful 3D support -
especially for IOS (and other mobile devices).

You can probably do the first version with a bit of web searching for some
algorithms for the data positioning.  IOS devices mostly support
position/orientation information as standard.

Hope that helps a bit,
Dave
