Hi,
My apps are finally released !!
===>
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.faceausud.aspelescunThe goal was to make an interactive version of already existing mountain hiking maps (on paper), for both PC and Android.
Areas covered are located in the Pyrénées, south-west of France.
Hiking pathes are represented by polylines, and places by billboard planes.
You can see your position and path using the phone GPS, and with the right orientation thanks to magnetometer/accelerometer/gravity sensors. You'll never get lost in the mountain again !
The Java (PC) version is actually an editor allowing to build a guide from scratch, by placing points of interest, picking paths, ...
App demo video ===>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpeNPrsTxToSome technical features :- advanced billboard system (rectangular billboards for better picking, billboards have always the same size on the screen whatever their position, ...)
- advanced blitting GUI (interaction with blitting elements, blitting drag with mouse / touch, buttons magnification, menu animations, blitting tooltips, ... )
- fast vertical projection on map (using a kind of simple polygon research)
- custom shader : add color on map depending on the altitude, and display altitude iso lines
- high resolution texture (4096x4096) available even for android
- camera : orbit camera, "walkink camera", camera smooth animations, compass-like camera rotation using android sensors, ...
- atlas system for huge amount of small textures (billboards)
I still have to improve a few things, but it's yet 100% functionnal.
For now only 2 apps (2 different areas) have been released, but new area are comming very soon.
A big thank to
