2. iOS Development
Start developing on xCode using Objective-C. Refer to Requirements & Supports to find out which devices are supported.
ARSDK has to properly integrate on iOS UIViewController. Refer to Life Cycle documents for detail.
2.1 Create Instants
- (void)viewDidLoad { ... trackingManager = [[MasTrackerManager alloc] init]; cameraDevice = [[MasCameraDevice alloc] init]; sensorDevice = [[MasSensorDevice alloc] init]; }
2.2 Start / Stop Tracker
To start / stop the tracker, refer to the following code.
※ To change the tracker, destroyTracker() should be called before
- (void)resumeAR { ... [trackingManager startTracker:TRACKER_TYPE_INSTANT]; } - (void)pauseAR { [trackingManager stopTracker]; ... }
2.3 Use Tracking Information
To augment an object using tracking results, refer to the following code.
- (void)glkView:(GLKView *)view drawInRect:(CGRect)rect { ... MasTrackingState *trackingState = [trackingManager updateTrackingState]; MasTrackingResult *result = [trackingState getTrackingResult]; MasTrackedImage *trackedImage = [trackingState getImage]; [backgroundCameraQuad draw:trackedImage projectionMatrix:[cameraDevice getBackgroundPlaneProjectionMatrix]]; glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); matrix_float4x4 projectionMatrix = [cameraDevice getProjectionMatrix]; for (int i = 0; i < [result getCount]; i++) { MasTrackable *trackable = [result getTrackable:i]; [texturedCube setProjectionMatrix:projectionMatrix]; [texturedCube setPoseMatrix:[trackable getPose]]; [texturedCube setTranslation:panTranslateX y:panTranslateY z:-0.05f]; [texturedCube setScale:0.3f + pinchScale y:0.3f + pinchScale z:0.01f]; [texturedCube draw]; } ... }
2.4 Create Instant Target Data
You can create new data only when it is not in tracking state. Refer to the following code.
※ startTracker() should be called before
- (IBAction)doTrackingState:(id)sender { UIButton **button = (UIButton**)sender; if([[[button titleLabel] text] isEqual: @"Start Tracking"]) { beforeTranslateX = 0.0f; beforeTranslateY = 0.0f; panTranslateX = 0.0f; panTranslateY = 0.0f; pinchScale = 0.0f; rotateValue = 0.0f; [trackingManager findSurface]; [button setTitle:@"Stop Tracking" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; } else if([[[button titleLabel] text] isEqual: @"Stop Tracking"]) { [trackingManager quitFindingSurface]; [button setTitle:@"Start Tracking" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; } }
