Hi! I've created games with ARIS in prior classes, but would love to use it for my thesis project. However, it's been a while since I've used this and am unable to find any sources that will answer my question. I'd really love to use image overlay in my game and possibly have image triggers rather than QR triggers. Is there a way to do this?

We have some REALLY fantastic image/AR trigger features coming out in the next few weeks. If you would like be a beta tester and help us create docs, I'd be happy to add you to the beta release.

Whoah, really?

Yes, the test flight version is in review right now. Sometime tomorrow?

You can play with the editor side right now at http://arisgames.org/beta-editor

One big drawback is that you need to setup a login at the vufira site and upload your markers there. That site gives you a .zip file that you upload to ARIS in the AR tab, then those markers are amiable at a new trigger type.

Awesome!

Although the registration page is really picky, I got signed up at Vuforia. Do you know anything about them ad if they are generally open to some form of educational use license? I do see that there is a free level that seems like would be workable for anyone playing around here at the moment, but that their real plans are thinking about more commercial endeavors than most of us here.

I'm also hoping to find out from them what an AR image trigger is and how to make them. It's ice to know that it's simple to get them into ARIS once I get there.

I'm pretty excited to try this out!

Chris and all,

Here is some more information about the new feature and a link to a video tutorial site I created.

Sorry not to answer your other question.

Individual ARIS users/projects won't need a license, it falls under ours. I plan on paying the $500 one time license.

As folks spin out their ARIS projects, however, they will need to purchase their own.

Wow! I had no idea I started a huge conversation here! How exciting! Yes! I would love to be able to test it out and use it for my thesis.

Interesting - is this out of beta yet?
