me. what did you expect?

i subscribe to focus.

i love that magazine.
i was especially pulled into this month’s issue which has a lot on AR (augmented reality). if you don’t know what that is, Wikipedia is your friend http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality

so, the cover is supposed to be an AR cool live cover, but as i soon realized, the focus mag website ar thingy doesn’t work for some http://www.bbcfocusmagazine.com/forum/ar-won-t-work-t893.html and myself.

im referring to http://www.bbcfocusmagazine.com/augmented-reality

however i managed to find where focus did wrong and got mine to work!
maybe this will work for you too:

if yours loads to ~80%:

then this might be the problem: somehow the option to choose the imaging device (webcam) is not showing on your screen.

so, what you must do to get it showing is to use firefox + web developer and disable all css styles (ctrl+shift+s).
if you aren’t using FireFox get it here http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html and make sure you get web developer add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60/ especially if you’re a web developer

the result will look like the website was made in the early 90′s, but you get to choose your camera and load the remaining percentage

just a word of warning, be patient as the scrolling really slows down.
i suggest using page up/down to scroll and give it some time.

yay! now we can all enjoy the cover to it’s fullest!
if your pc only sees 1 imaging device, i assume it would work out of the box.

comment if you found a easier solution please

ok so i had an idea as to what i will put here (as in the blog in general).

stuff i find and show others, that i usually bookmark and store away and never see again (which would make one wonder why i got so upset when i synced my bookmarks the wrong way and so upset the other day) i will post here.

sometimes i would even email them to friends. i guess this is actually why they invented blogs in the first place.

so, to conclude, i’m planning to use this blog the way i was meant to.

yes, this is a big accomplishment for me. stop laughing.
