ARKit and ARCore

ARKit from Apple iOS

  • Visual Inertial Odometry
    • ARKit uses Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) to accurately track the world around it.
  • Scene Understanding and Lighting Estimation
    • ARKit can detect horizontal planes like tables and floors, and can track and place objects on smaller feature points as well.
  • High Performance Hardware and Rendering Optimizations
    • You can take advantage of the optimizations for ARKit in Metal, SceneKit, and third-party tools like Unity and Unreal Engine.
Supported formats include the following:

 ARCore from Google Android
ARCore works with Java/OpenGL, Unity and Unreal and focuses on three things:

  • Motion tracking
    • Using the phone’s camera to observe feature points in the room and IMU sensor data, ARCore determines both the position and orientation (pose) of the phone as it moves. Virtual objects remain accurately placed.
  • Environmental understanding
    • It’s common for AR objects to be placed on a floor or a table. ARCore can detect horizontal surfaces using the same feature points it uses for motion tracking.
  • Light estimation
    • ARCore observes the ambient light in the environment and makes it possible for developers to light virtual objects in ways that match their surroundings, making their appearance even more realistic.
ARCore works with Java/OpenGL, Unity and Unreal.

Working natively with JavaScript in iOS and Android without WebView

Using JavaScript code from native code without using a WebView (sic!) can be really useful to introduce dynamic functionality that was updatable without need of updating the app shorter iteration cycles share code between backend and native iOS and Android apps You can have business logic provided by a JavaScript that then controls the app that inject native functionality in the JavaScript context. You could even write an A/B testing framework based on this approach. iOS iOS offers the native JavaScriptCore: Evaluate JavaScript programs from within an app, and support JavaScript scripting of your app. So you can evaluate a script and read its return value natively: context.evaluateScript(myLib); let result = context.evaluateScript("myFunction();") let myFunction = context.objectForKeyedSubscription("myFunction"); let parametrizedResult = myFunction.invokeMethod(...) Or you can inject a native object into the JavaScript engine: @objc protoco...

Crash Reporter

Plausible CrashReporter provides an in-process crash reporting framework for use on both the iPhone and Mac OS X. Crash reports are output as protobuf-encoded messages, and may be decoded using the CrashReporter library or any Google Protobuf decoder. The CrashReporter library handles both uncaught exceptions and fatal signals. Features: Implemented as a in-process fully async-safe signal handler. Does not interfere with debugging in gdb Handles both uncaught Objective-C exceptions and fatal signals (SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, etc) Backtraces for all active threads are provided. Provides full register state for the crashed thread. The following platforms are currently supported: Mac OS X 10.5+ (x86-32, ppc, experimental x86-64) iPhone OS 2.0+: (armv6, armv7) iPhone Simulator 2.0+ (x86-32) PLCrashReporter Server part and extension: CrashReporterDemo MacDevCrashReporter See also: CrashKit Hoptoad Hexspeak

Great Teams Are About Personalities, Not Just Skills

The scientific evidence indicates quite clearly that individuals’ personalities play a significant role in determining team performance. In particular, personality affects: What role you have within the team How you interact with the rest of the team Whether your values (core beliefs) align with the team’s In our own work we found that psychological team roles are largely a product of people’s personalities. For example, consider team members who are: Results-oriented. Team members who naturally organize work and take charge tend to be socially self-confident, competitive, and energetic. Relationship-focused. Team members who naturally focus on relationships, are attuned to others' feelings, and are good at building cohesion tend to be warm, diplomatic, and approachable. Process and rule followers. Team members who pay attention to details, processes, and rules tend to be reliable, organized, and conscientious. Innovative and disruptive thinkers. Team members who n...

Alternative name: Icon-Small.png Icon~ipad.png 72 x 72 iPad application icon. Alternative name: Icon-72.png Add some smaller (iPad doc: 64×64, other optional 32×32, 24×24, 16×16) custom icons to your project. See comments. Icon-spot~ipad.png 50 x 50 iPad icon for spotlight search. Alternative name: Icon-Small-50.png iPhone OS trims 1 pixel from each side and adds a drop shadow. The actual size is 48×48 pixels. iTunesArtwork.png 512 x 512 Universial application icon for iTunes App Store. Uploaded separately to iTunes.

iPad HTTP Debugging with Charles

After noticing that the caching in iPad Safari seemed a little funky, I made an effort to decipher some of the logic used by the browser cache. I didn’t get very far, but in the process I figured out how to route my iPad HTTP traffic through a web debugger on my laptop. It turns out it was very easy to do (although I’m sure there is a more complicated way to go about it). What follows is a simple step-by-step for connecting your iPad to an HTTP debugging proxy. The main requirement is that your desktop/laptop and iPad be on the same wireless network. Then it’s just a matter of telling your iPad to use your desktop as an HTTP proxy. iPad HTTP Debugging with Charles
