Augmented Reality

Mustapha

Dear all,

I'm planning to perform a basic embedded augmented reality environment by using codesign  "coupling MALI GPU (HW)  to ARM processor(SW)".

Please, is there any suggestion for a design platform, for example does DS-5 allow to couple between Mali GPU and ARM Cortex-A9 ?

best regards

    Hi,

    Michael has covered the compatibility of DS5, I thought I'd say a little about target platforms.

    When I worked on the Mali demo team we developed an augmented reality system using physical black and white markers to overlay virtual items on a live camera stream. Although it was originally written for a development board, this could run on a Samsung Galaxy SII, and after we switched to the SII the code iteration became much easier. Obviously things have moved on since then but that had a Mali-400 MP4 and dual core Cortex A9, so it fits your specification, plus an inbuilt camera, which is kind of vital for augmented reality - with a development board we had to sort out external camera drivers.

    Basically what I'm saying is that there's no reason you can't use any commercial ARM Mali device as a target development platform for an application of this type.

    Finally here's a video of the aforementioned demo running on another commercial device; the original Samsung Galaxy Note:
