How'd it go?

[danbri]

From http://www.ardevcamp.org/wiki/index.php?title=AR_DevCamp_interest_list

"We believe AR must be fundamentally open, interoperable, extensible,
and accessible to all, so that it can create the kinds of
opportunities for expressiveness, communication, business and social
good that we enjoy on the web and Internet today."

+1 :)

Looking over twitter'd snippets - http://twitter.com/#search?q=ardevcamp
- it seems folk had a great time. I'd love to hear more, particularly
any steps towards tangible small pieces of the larger interoperability
story. Did anyone hack their stuff to work with other attendees stuff?
Sketches of APIs or data formats for us to look at? Rough consensus on
which standards are healthy to work with? Anything that can be input
into subsequent hacking events? (eg. am hoping to help put together
something here in Amsterdam...).

thanks for any pointers,

cheers,

Dan

Turnout for the 12 hour ARdevcamp at the Hacker dojo was mind
boggling. I estimated that at peak, 130-140 people were in and out of
the space more comfortable for 70-80.

it was a barely disciplined massively parallel and fun! dialog
( and party) in 40 discrete sessions, mostly technical and social,
with exponentially complex interactions in between all day into
evening. We asked everyone to log their session notes on the ardevcap
wiki, but the huge crowd flooded the meager DSL connection from the
building, complained they couldn't post pages. I haven't had a chance
to explore, or inspect damages yet.

The mass of expert devcampers was simply astounding and uniformly
brilliant hackers, mobile techies, mappers,image recognition
scientists, 3D, artists, media designers, nav, techies, game
designers, a teacher a museum guy . . .

The dialog was multi-disciplinary, definitely friendly towards, but
not closely focused yet specifically on an open ARweb, data
interoperability, software and service ecosytems, APIs, rendering and
UI conventions. I suspect all of these were discussed in some depth,
but but not yet logged.

I saw quite a few people doing tutorials - that was good.

I didn't get to coding myself - sad.

The NYC group actually did some code and started writing a game.  Net connections didn't allow us to chat with them.

The Manchester group also did some hands on work - but we didn't really chat with them here on the west coast either.

It was everything I had personally hoped for - beat my very high expectations. We provided a warm friendly congenial space for developers and artists.

There were no fires - which was good.

Earthmine brought their truck.

A hardware hacker brought a 3d analgyphic rig - beautiful ( Walter ).

A bio hacker gave a 2 hour talk on biology hacking ( not sure how AR Related but awesome - see Tim Heath ). I am going to ask him to speak at dorkbot - and I feel it was good because the HPLUS bio conference in LA that Paige Saez was at had many AR hackers oddly.

There is talk of a weekly sunday meetup - called ARt Consortium coming out of this. ( see @apalindrome ).

I personally am inspired and am going to try and launch my own AR app shortly.

Hello, Anselm.

Thanks a million for helping helping to put together #ARDevCamp. It was an amazing experience and I know that everyone involved had a great time – and learned a lot. AR is such an exciting space and we certainly pulled together both big thinkers and big dreamers. And the coffee. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I may be the person driving the AR/t Consortium. Or whatever it is we decide to call it. I called the AR + Film/Art Session – and it was pretty amazing. Certainly more questions than answers but that is to be expected. The important thing is that a large group of people from a variety of backgrounds showed a strong interest.

Our Session notes are strong - http://www.ardevcamp.org/wiki/index.php?title=Session_Topics/Art_and_AR

Until next time...

Ah cool! Ok can't wait to join in. That intersection between art and science is a favorite. Both disciplines reseach the unknown except art does not always limit itself to deterministic reproducible phenomena. AR art sounds inspiring.

Search Twitter for ardevcamp - not a heck of a lot of stuff on Flickr sadly.
