The BBC is currently airing a documentary series covering the last 20 years of the web and, as they put it, exploring how it’s reshaping almost every aspect of our lives. It’s fantastic stuff I tell you!

Tracking Multiple Augmented Reality Markers with FLARManager and Papervision
This, the first in a line of tutorials here, is an in-depth walkthrough of how to create an augmented reality system in ActionScript with support for 3D objects manipulated via the Papervision framework.
3D to 2D Grid Mapping with Augmented Reality [Video]
Integral to the AR game is it’s grid environment, which controls the dimensions, orientation and other game-wide settings. Recent development of the grid logic has allowed for accurate 3D to 2D interaction tracking.
The Best Business Card in the World
I’ve always felt a little useless at conferences and meet-ups because of my lack of business cards. It’s now time for a change, and I believe I’ve just created the best business card in the world.
Grid Logic in Augmented Reality [Video]
An integral part of the augmented reality game I’m working on is the logic behind the scenes, particularly the grid-based system that will be used to calculate positioning and ensure reliable interaction from the player.
2009: In Review
From a clumsy teen who used Windows, to a sensible(?) adult who makes wonders happen with OS X, my recent history has been particularly interesting. Join me as I reminisce about the past decade and take a look at what the future holds.
Introducing Arduino: Electronics Made Easy
Arduino. If you’re like me when I first saw that word then you’ll be thinking something along the lines of, “what are you on about you crazy person?”. To be honest I’m still not entirely sure how to pronounce it, I believe it’s ar-do-ee-no. Regardless, all you need to know is that it’s a word you’ll be hearing a lot of in the near future, even if that’s all from my mouth alone.
Tracking Multiple Augmented Reality Markers [Video]
Work is underway on an augmented reality game involving the use of multiple, trackable, markers.
The Web Factor
It seems that anyone with an ounce of ‘talent’ is able to climb in front of the general public and make a success of themselves, and a fortune to boot. Whatever happened to experience? Cue rant.
Factored Canvas Application is now Open Source
I’ve been meaning to do this for a few months now so it makes me extremely happy to announce that I’ve released all the code for the canvas application I made at Redweb as open source.
