Dan'O's advice
After talking to Dan'O, he gives me some advice. I list them as follows.
Direction:
1. Find the existing framework and use it.
2. Write the code by my own.
3. Use the laptop instead of mobile phone.
Suggestion:
1. Find out the socket to talk to the Processing or Flash. (Michael)
2. Think more about the concept. (If everything done, what will happen?)
3. Write a “Hello augmented reality” program and run it on mobile phone.

Tile-Based Game Video
The game they are playing is “Chocolate-Milk-Chocolate”. The only thing they have to do is continuously mimic the action from the person in their right side.

Description ?
如果拼圖遊戲的結果，是個3D的投射影像，那應該挺酷的！
It should be cool, if I can turn the result of the puzzle game into a 3D image!

Some stuff to fill up the thesis background!
說到Virtual Reality，除了真的健3D模型之外，最方便的要屬Apple的QuickTime VR吧。以Panorama VR來講，把相機放在腳架上，每水平旋轉30度左右拍一張，只要注意水平，曝光不要太不正常。然後把照片放進VR Works這種軟體stitch一下，輕輕鬆鬆就可以有個像樣的360度Panorama VR影片。網路上甚至有影片，教你十分鐘就可以做出一個互動VR影片哪。 但是無論Object VR, Panorama VR或者是更進一步可以上下左右都360度的Cubic VR，這些東西雖然雖然有點過時，但照片拍的好的話，看起來都還不賴。可惜是，當你興奮的推著滑鼠切換視角的時候，其他人確只能在一旁乾瞪眼。
至於另一個技術，就是我有興趣的ARToolKit，雖說也不是甚麼新奇的東西，但是只要沒見過的人，親眼目睹，實際體驗一下，我想仍然會不免有點有莫名的興奮（至少我是拉）。 簡單來說，他是藉由電腦上的攝影機，來辨識被印在紙張上的Marker，找出相對應的3D模型。並將3D模型的結果顯現在螢幕上。妙的是，在螢幕上顯示的3D模型，會隨著紙張上Marker的角度不同，而變換角度，有點難懂對吧？（看影片比較快）
ARToolKit--“ARToolKit is a software library for building Augmented Reality (AR) applications. These are applications that involve the overlay of virtual imagery on the real world.
For example, in the image to the right a three-dimensional virtual character appears standing on a real card. It can be seen by the user in the head set display they are wearing. When the user moves the card, the virtual character moves with it and appears attached to the real object.”
繼續搜尋下去，可以發現這個ARToolKit的程式庫，或者類似結合虛擬與真實環境的概念，已經被發展成很多有趣的Project了。例如：

It will be a Tile based Game.

Tile Based Game:
"Tile-based worlds are made by combining small pieces into interesting patterns.” “It’s much easier to create new maps by combining a few simple reusable pieces than with a large set of customized components.”
Another Personal Statement!
我很喜歡玩Game，也很留意電玩產業的動態。 在Thesis開始之前，我甚至每天花三四個小時，熱衷於更新自己的遊戲blog (現在就只能放著長草)。越是接觸電玩，就越想到說，如果能夠把玩Video Game這種事情，變成是工作，那有多好（事實證明，有時候這不是甚麼好主意！）。至於自己動手設計個遊戲，以前想都沒想過。 來到ITP之後，是我第一次學習用程式語言與電腦溝通。 這過程～說實在的還挺痛苦的。但是既然拿了Thesis，總得做點事。又恰好我對Augmented Reality（或者說Mixed Reality）這種東西有點著迷，於是不要命的想說，不如就用這個來作點甚麼吧！ 這樣多少也可以幫助我釐清，到底把興趣當作工作這件事，到底是不是樁好交易？
I like video games, and I also interested in the news related with game industry. Before this semester began, I spend almost over 3 hours per day to update my game blog. I even think about if someday I could get a job in game company, it would be great (Actually, somebody proved it’s not).
After came to ITP, I starting to learn how to talk to a computer with it’s own language. To speak honestly, learning computer languages in a foreign language, it’s really a pain in the neck. But the thing is, I have to do something for my thesis.
I’m addicted in playing video games, but never think about creating one. I’m also fascinated in Augmented Reality (In another word, Mixed Reality). I think it might be a chance to mix the reality and the video game together. Plus, when I’m working on this, I will know mixing my interests and job together is a good deal or not.

Personal Statement α
I have worked with film production house for couple times. For them, most of the scriptwriters or directors may not that familiar with the technology. Before produce a movie (or that’s say short film like advertisement on TV), someone has to describe the story to the client. At that time, if they like to work with laptop, they might use professional software like “Final Draft” to write a script or use “Storyboard Artist” to generate the storyboards instead of drawing them by hand. They are great tools.
Although the software can generate variety of scene to help people to understand what’s in director or editor’s mind, I think, there is another way to use technology to describe the scene more clearly.Storyboard example. Link for the ARToolkit Demo
