My interactive media project this semester is about the augmentation of the classic communication medium business card. I tried to extend it wisely, so that you can have the essential information of a businesscard (adress, email etc.) and at the same time create a very personal and interesting possibility to introduce yourself to others. I kept the physical businesscard and extended it digitally. I don’t think the “analog” business card will die soon, to many people it is almost like a status symbol and in Japan for example the “handing over” of a business card is quite a ritual. With my project i keep these possibilities and bring a new interesting touch to this communication medium.
Great work Jonas!
How does it work?
* The author creates a presentation, using a frontend tool (which is in development at the moment). He can import various media like images, video clips and 3D-models. The application exports this presentation as a XML file.
xml
* This XML file is uploaded to a webserver, together with all the necessary assets.
* From the URL of the XML presentation you generate a QR-Code. This unique QR-Code will lead the application to the right presentation, so that the application itself can stay the same and can be used by everyone…nobody has to compile his own version of the application to share his presentation.
qr
* Now you print the QR-Code on your business card, together with the AR-marker
Business card
* The person who gets your business card can now start the application on a website (since it is developed in flash you can run it in the browser) or download it to his computer.
The application was developed using FLARtoolkit, Papervision 3D, FLARmanager and the Ribbit API.
