Book Testing - Aurasma Overview
I took very short videos of me learning how to use their most basic aura system. I am editing it into one longer video that will attach here and on the Tumblr.
Pros: 1. Very easy to use 2. Ability for videos and sound 3. Masking - made triggers easily found by camera
Con: 1. Seems to have a very set UI
I have to play around with the more experienced features when I do testing on the other images. I believe there are ways to get some button options on it, but it will have to come up in the later testing.
WHICH BOOKS WORKED (left to right): 1. Not enough details. I got multiple warnings from Aurasma that there wasn't going to be enough for it to pick up. Even after I figured out how masking worked, it still wouldn't pick it up. 2-3. Both of these worked, but when tested against each other, the images were too close that it couldn't pick up the difference in the images. If we are going to use this system, we would need to be very careful about what are the triggers and how similar they look. 4. Not enough details. It seems that even though it is a block of color, this system views triggers through details and lines. 5-6. Both were picked up easily, even without masking (unlike the others). Then tested against each other they were easily differentiated. This is around the level that we need to get with the triggers. The detail level is great, so much so that just changing the color allowed for different "Auras" to be picked up.
