Catchup

Albeit a year has almost past since I wrote Android AR 101. Since then I've become a father, worked in the UK and found myself back in Fukuoka doing AR related development again. I've also picked up iOS programming and released my first iPhone app (FlagIt! - a travel app to flag countries visited or on your wishlist of places to travel). I've moved my daily development over to my recently acquired MacBook Air. Never having owned my own Mac before, I purchased it mainly for my iOS work but have fallen in love with it. It's compactness, lightness, touch pad and long last battery have really turned me into a can-program-anywhere kinda person. Whether that be the beach or local pub with beer in hand :)

News

This blog hasn't had any activity for the past few months. After my wife and I embarked on our round the world trip back in February, stopping off home in New Zealand for our second wedding, we found out she was pregnant :)

We are delighted to say we will be expecting our first baby boy in October. We didn't end up completing most of the trip we had planned and instead I've been working for the past few months out of the UK. I will be moving back to Japan later this year and hope to refocus my efforts on augmented reality work then. Not that I am expecting much free time with fatherdom looming, but I will try and post the odd helpful article when I can!
