Flow Chart , Budget List and Story board
Here i manage about budget and how the project works.
Gantt Chart
Budget list
*It could be more in the future
Flow Chart
Simple Flowchart
A bit detail flow chart
Story board ( sketches )
this appear when user open the book , the webcam automaticly detect
the marker , and the 3D animation will instantly pop up above the marker ,
after the main page and the introduction page , it will appear live view and
user can start explore the book. first we stop at the solar system , a brief explanation
about the planets in our solar system.
after done with the planets , then goes to the phase of the moon ,
the explanation of the phase will be appear on this page .
and finally , about the eclipse phenomenon , in this page also
explaining information about the phenomenon.

Content Development ( 3d model )
here i got some example for what i will do for my work .
this video show that planets arrangement in our solar system using AR . i found this quite interesting ,
the 3d content for this AR
The Arrangement of the planets in the solar system.
all the planet that will be model by using 3d software , and the results is like this and it will be animated. ( i model this planets using google sketchup ).
earth
jupiter
Sun
Content Developement ( Solar System )
I've discover that most of the student thinks that chapter earth and universe is kinda hard to learn because it's can be visualize by pictures and text , maybe animation practice can help them visualize , here the content that i need to go in depth to help these student.
The Solar System
As we all aware that in our solar system we got 11 planets including sun and moon
Sun
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It has a diameter of about 1,392,000 kilometers (865,000 mi), about 109 times that of Earth, and its mass (about 2 × 1030 kilograms, 330,000 times that of Earth) accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. About three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen, while the rest is mostly helium. Less than 2% consists of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon, iron, and others.
Mercury
Mercury is the innermost and smallest planet in the Solar System, orbiting the Sun once every 87.969 Earth days. The orbit of Mercury has the highest eccentricity of all the Solar System planets, and it has the smallest axial tilt. It completes three rotations about its axis for every two orbits. The perihelion of Mercury's orbit precesses around the Sun at an excess of 43 arcseconds per century; a phenomenon that was explained in the 20th century by Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Mercury is bright when viewed from Earth, ranging from −2.3 to 5.7 in apparent magnitude, but is not easily seen as its greatest angular separation from the Sun is only 28.3°. Since Mercury is normally lost in the glare of the Sun, unless there is a solar eclipse, Mercury can only be viewed in morning or evening twilight.
Venus
Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. The planet is named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6, bright enough to cast shadows. Because Venus is an inferior planet from Earth, it never appears to venture far from the Sun: its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°. Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, for which reason it has been known as the Morning Star or the Evening Star.
Earth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and the densest and fifth-largest of the eight planets in the Solar System. It is also the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets. It is sometimes referred to as the World, the Blue Planet, or by its Latin name, Terra.
Mars
Mars can easily be seen from Earth with the naked eye. Its apparent magnitude reaches −2.91, a brightness surpassed only by Jupiter, Venus, the Moon, and the Sun. Mars has an average opposition distance of 78 million km but can come as close as 55.7 million km during a particularly close approach, such as the opposition of 2003.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet within the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass slightly less than one-thousandth of the Sun but is two and a half times the mass of all the other planets in our Solar System combined. Jupiter is classified as a gas giant along with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Together, these four planets are sometimes referred to as the Jovian planets.
Saturn
Saturn is an oblate spheroid; that is, it is flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator. Its equatorial and polar radii differ by almost 10%—60,268 km versus 54,364 km. The other gas planets are also oblate, but to a lesser extent. Saturn is the only planet of the Solar System that is less dense than water. Although Saturn's core is considerably denser than water, the average specific density of the planet is 0.69 g/cm³ due to the gaseous atmosphere. Saturn is only 95 Earth masses, compared to Jupiter, which is 318 times the mass of the Earth but only about 20% larger than Saturn.
Uranus
Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune, and both are composed of different elements from those of the larger gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. As such, astronomers sometimes place them in a separate category, the "ice giants". Uranus's atmosphere, while similar to Jupiter and Saturn's in its primary composition of hydrogen and helium, contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia and methane, along with traces of hydrocarbons. It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System, with a minimum temperature of 49 K (–224 °C). It has a complex, layered cloud structure, with water thought to make up the lowest clouds, and methane thought to make up the uppermost layer of clouds. In contrast the interior of Uranus is mainly composed of ices and rock.
Pluto
Pluto is composed primarily of rock and ice and is relatively small: approximately a fifth the mass of the Earth's Moon and a third its volume. It has an eccentric and highly inclined orbit that takes it from 30 to 49 AU (4.4–7.4 billion km) from the Sun. This causes Pluto to periodically come closer to the Sun than Neptune.
Moon
The Moon is exceptionally large relative to the Earth: a quarter the diameter of the planet and 1/81 its mass. It is the largest moon in the solar system relative to the size of its planet (although Charon is larger relative to the dwarf planet Pluto). The Moon's surface area is less than one-tenth that of the Earth; about a quarter of the Earth's land area. However, the Earth and Moon are still considered a planet–satellite system, rather than a double-planet system, as their barycentre, the common centre of mass, is located about 1,700 km (about a quarter of the Earth's radius) beneath the surface of the Earth.
Phase of The Moon
A lunar phase or phase of the moon is the appearance of the illuminated portion of the Moon as seen by an observer, usually on Earth. The lunar phases vary cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing relative positions of the Earth, Moon and Sun. One half of the lunar surface is always illuminated by the Sun (except during lunar eclipses), and hence is bright, but the portion of the illuminated hemisphere that is visible to an observer can vary from 100% (full moon) to 0% (new moon). The boundary between the illuminated and unilluminated hemispheres is called the terminator.
Sun Eclipse
As seen from the Earth, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially covers the Sun as viewed from a location on Earth. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth. At least two, and up to five, solar eclipses occur each year; no more than two can be total eclipses. Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any particular location because totality exists only along a narrow path on the Earth's surface traced by the Moon's umbra.
Moon Eclipse
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth such that the earth blocks the sun’s rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, there is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon’s location relative to its orbital nodes.

National Art Gallery Trip
i never been to national art gallery for my entire life , on 5th august , mr.k y bring our dm final year classmate to the national art gallery , that was my first time stepping into the national art gallery ,
kinda lame right ? haha .
first we stop at the japanese - malaysian art exhibition . In that exhibition it show many installation made by our local and japanese artist . most of it using projector to project the installation , what i can see is everything in the exhibition too artsy , maybe certain people cant understand what the artist try to deliver. I've noticed that one of our lecturer taking part in the exhibition , i think ms.kok siew wai ( am i right spelling her name ? ) and most of the installation is using video-based projection , i think we spend there about 45 mins. end of exhibition .
then we move to see a local painter named Zulkifli Yusoff . he doing so many works showing the national theme , 'Negaraku' some of the works show us a direct message and some of it show discreet message towards audience. we just look around and try to understand the message that he try to deliver .
next we go on the top floor seeing the malaysia , singapore and indonesia collaboration doing paintings , theres so many beautiful paintings ( for me ) plus beside of the paintings , there's tag a price and the price is quite expensive O.O . After done with those paintings we met mr ky friende , Ropesh . There we discussed about our project , then he open our eyes and mind what should we do for the project , how we deliver the project to audience. The common issue that we discussed is about thinker and doer , is it mmu create a thinker or doer , and makes us think and i like people that share idea and opinion and the conversation is great . now i know , how the thinker works and doer works . it's challenging but fun .
endup finish we still keep thinking certain question that he gave to us , hehe . so everything is done we just go back and have a lunch .

Precedence Study
Second Life Avatar Enters the Real World
Tobias Lang and Blair MacIntyre (GA Tech) give us an extraordinary glance at what happens when the virtual world “leaks” into the real world. No, they didn’t use a green screen as you can see behind the scenes. Is it a hint for some of us to ditch Second Life and augment our First…?
Research and Analysis ( Survey ) *Cont.
last week , on mid term break i visited about 3 school to do some survey for my topic , here the data that i mined and process it.
