AARemu is a software tool enabling simulation of Augmented Reality by allowing an AR developer to record a 360 degree view of a location using the devices camera and orientation sensors (this functionality is provided by the ARemRecorder app). The ARCamera class which provides an impostor of the Android camera class can then be used to preview the recorded scene instead of the live camera preview provided by the Android Camera class. The ARCamera preview callback is analogous to the standard Camera preview callback except that the preview bytes provided in the callback are extracted from a file created by the recorder application based on the current bearing returned by the orientation sensor(s). These preview bytes are passed to the development code via the same preview callback as provided by the standard Camera classes and can thus be processed by Computer Vision algorithms before being displayed by the client application. The frames are stored as individual video frames in RGBA, RGB or RGB565 format and not as video so the preview can be accessed in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.The tool is aimed at developers of outdoor mobile AR application as it allows the developer to record one or more 360 degree panoramas of a given location and then debug and test the AR application in the comfort of a office or home without having to make extensive changes to the programming code.
