Augmented Reality Browser and Detective Activity

[Георгий Ахенко]

Dear colleagues, I would like to hear your opinion on this issue from the field of universal androidization population, and in particular in the use in the detective activity of some programs on smartphones, iPhone, for example, as augmented reality AR Layar program, which the creators call it - augmented reality browser (Eng. Reality Browser Layar).
Outwardly, it looks something like this: a layer with data on Points of Interest (POIs) attached to the person’s current location, as well as orientation to the cardinal directions using the built-in compass, is superimposed on the image taken by the phone’s camera. The name Layar itself comes from the English word “layer”, and a layer is, in common terms, a web page. There are infinitely many such layers. Each layer (and now there are over 200 for Russia and over 2000 for the whole world) provides access to various information, from searching for the nearest McDonald's, an architectural monument, metro station, to wi-fi hotspots, virtual games (get to such and such a point) , and tourist information. There are marker technology
A marker is usually a high-contrast picture frame with a schematic image inside. The frame serves to uniquely identify the tag and attach an augmented reality object to it. A special image (photograph) can also act as a marker, the combination of contrast zones on which serves as a natural mark to which the augmented reality is linked. AND markerless technology The main requirement for image in markerless technologies is contrast of the picture. If this condition is met, the logo, the photo and landscape - [b ] any image can be used to snap objects of augmented reality. [/b] To implement the augmented reality system on markerless technologies, it is enough to have any computing device (computer, laptop, tablet) or a mobile phone, webcam, and any image, face, body, object. Layar application is very indispensable even in a well-known city, let alone unfamiliar places. It allows you to find out the distance and direction to POI (points of interest), read their description. There are layers that allow you to see amateur photos of objects or, for example, find out where users of social networks are located in the immediate vicinity of a person / detective. These are incredible new opportunities that a couple of years ago seemed like real science fiction and now and in the future will bring more opportunities to the private investigation .....

These features will bring a bunch of problems to everyone without exception ))

 

[Роберт]

So what? Can not understand anything? How will this add features? Or add trouble?

 

[Елена Королёва]

the application is interesting, but I think so far it’s even more a toy for users than a really used application for spies)

 

[Краев Евгений Леонидович]

Nevertheless, this is a very interesting application

Almost everywhere in modern smartphones there is a GPS system. And there are technologies that allow the application to transmit the coordinate reference to the intermediate server in the background. If we discuss the opportunities provided by these technologies, solely from the point of view of compliance with the law - this is childcare. I see no other benefit for private investigation either from the Layar program or from the technologies I have indicated.
If you use both of them without equivocation to the law and at your own discretion (for example, donating an object of interest that is knowingly stuffed with smartphone software data), then there are very big doubts about the legality of the information extracted using these programs =)

So what? Can not understand anything? How will this add features? Or add trouble?

Of course, all this is interesting, but so far there are more questions in terms of practical application!

I will try to answer Robert Pavlovich , although I do not have a radio engineering education, like my respected vis-a-vis, and I do not understand the technical “delays” of gadgets and communicator software, but I understand that. what can be useful in detective activities, for example, the "state" search, and absolutely everything can be useful. To the browser of additional reality, this applies, I believe, as follows. For example, a detective gets an image of a certain yet unidentified person who needs to be installed, and so everything that a detective does now to establish the person involved in the search does a gadget in a matter of seconds when you hover the device’s photo or video camera on the object of interest, it sets not only the person’s installation data, but also immediately checks the social networks, on his Internet presence, both according to the installation data, and on the elements of his life activity, phone numbers, email addresses, skype, nicknames and so on, all this verification is carried out independently by the gadget, how much it saves the detective’s time, and gives new ways to obtain information about a person, his connections, past and present life. I would even say that this gadget will collect, as it were, an electronic dossier on the object of interest. There is such a program on the Internet at one of the sites for competitive intelligence as the "Satellite Site" which monitors various different "search engines", which websites are connected at the discretion of the program administrator or computer databases, etc. For example, this kind of work of such a gadget. A detective approaches an unfamiliar house, or a high-rise building or a separate mansion, a house with the aim of finding a person in this house or maintaining contact with its inhabitants, brings a gadget to this house, written on the wall of the house to its address and receives information on the house how many apartments who lives in the apartments, how the age of the residents, their place of work, how often they got to the police, who sat or was brought to administrative responsibility and for what, which apartments were robbed, when and what was stolen, which of the inhabitants of the house passed as a witness criminal case. who was the person involved, or by the ODS communication, whether robberies, thefts, traffic accidents, etc. were committed near the house what telephones do the residents of the house have, from landlines to cell numbers, apartment layouts, and so on, but some details from the foregoing are not needed by the private investigator, although it would be desirable to have them on the object of interest.
I understand that this is currently unrealistic, but trying to create a gadget layer called CIS security card must be done now: idea:: idea:: idea:

[DLMURL] https://gagadget.com/promo/android/layar/ [/ DLMURL] dear colleagues do not think that I advertise these sites, I present them in the order of familiarization with the primary material that I used, maybe it will be for you interesting ....: ugeek :: ugeek :: ugeek:

Well, you, George, give. Now such garbage, probably only in NASA or the CIA. And then the base in the USA is there, well, there are all sorts of visas for residents and guests. Who will give this voluntarily, so much money for the development and replenishment of the bases is threatened. In the Russian Federation, there is simply no money for this; electronic passports will be issued only in 2014. UEC - at 13, but it is, an experiment.
If they start to run in, then the first FSB officers will receive it. Detectives again show a big fig.
