Members present: Matt, David, Thomas, and Erin. Selah was away on family business.

Topics Discussed

How to Determine Phone Location

Erin has been working on this and is making progress. He is trying to figure out how the various matrices are defined, and how to extract the information that we need out of them. He has been consulting with 'experts' in the field, and we shared some relevant threads from the Vuforia developer forum. In general this looks promising. We just need to take the inverse of the pose matrix. Erin hopes to have an implementation in place by midweek this week.

How to Effectively Use the JNI to Pass Information

Thomas has taken lead on this topic. He has posted a few relevant links on his work log. His next steps are to get a hold of the format of the JSON object that the came out of the integration meeting two weeks ago (Erin talked to Scott who is supposed to talk to Eli, and hopefully we get a hold of it eventually). Once we have the format of the JSON object, we need to coordinate with Michael Dubois from the mobile group, who will be getting it from the server and parsing it into Java objects. We just need to communicate if there are any format requests that we have. Then Thomas will work on coming up with a design and implementation for passing all of this info to the C++ code.

How to Implement a Draw Method for Multiple Objects

David has taken the lead on this. He has a promising framework for his method of drawing a series of objects on our targets. He should get the JSON object format from Thomas and coordinate on the specifics of variables. He is working on creating a simple proof of concept demonstration for his method.

Other notes:

  • Selah and Matt are coordinating to continue work on the texture mapping challenge.
  • Matt is continuing to work with mobile to integrate our two apps.

Switching Repos!

We forgot to talk about whether we should move our active development over to the mobile repo. Matt has a working integration, and it seems to make sense to start developing from that branch. It is in the mobile repo. Matt is meeting with Nathan today to confirm details of this, and will send out an e-mail later today (Tuesday Nov. 6th).
