Actually it's augmented reality application., Perhaps we have to print out a barcode or something to see... something.

Look for this cool example:

It should work in this way...

The QR Codes maybe? Or a connection of them? Something that have to been entered prior in the Grid on johannbayer.eu?

UPDATE: I printed the code from the Bluetooth message and hold it up and I saw some coloured dots and a field to enter something right under the "Location Signifier"

Looks like they smartened up. Use the QR codes and show them to your camera. This way we don't have to enter them manually!

This is one of the parts that glimped through, when I started to move the code around, there is at least a second part that is activated with the same code.

Saw another parts and something that was written inside the all-time visible field of the Location Signifier, same code just turned it around 180°.

Update: Another parts:



And here, what is in the location box



Update 2:

So I used the combined code and either we have to hold the code at an specific position with a specific side up or we just have to hold a code up and wait, I could get the entry form to confirm the Location Signifier up for several seconds but not enough to enter something (Or I am just to slow!)

I'm having the same trouble, I thought it was shaky hands, but I set up a spot for the camera to look at the code perfectly flat and mounted. Same problem, it just flashes the code and input box. I even tried printing out the codes in the "clock" arrangement. No go.

Try the combined code with inverted colours! It shows much more code everytime, just to have to find the right location!

O...kay.... I tried the printed QR code and move it in front of the camera, but it's really hard to get the numbers and location box. But it was way easier (or at least the numbers flashed way more and quicker) as i stood up from my char and started moving infront of the screen. Weird stuff, maybe i'm a QR code myself Laughing

Looks like those coloured dots are actually Planets and stars, some of them got rings around them like Planetary Rings, but it seems that 102002890 isn't the right confirmation, I could get to enter it (via ctrl+v Wink) and to click submit but it states "incorrect" either I have done something wrong or we have to decipher the right code, maybe the year from Uranometria and the numbers from "a Nomads clue" or the numbers from the constellations (do they serve any function?)

Still trying to find the right place for the code for a stable entry box but maybe it is just as broken as the Comm Unit that Malak0 aquired.

New chat in http://97.74.158.186/

Translated:

PHPChatUser5: Are you OK?

PHPChatUser4: Yes but it's just us now. They have Janus.

PHPChatUser5: What happened?

PHPChatUser4: I don't know, only know that i can't stay here no longer. Where are you?

PHPChatUser5: I'm back.

PHPChatUser4: From where?

PHPChatUser5: I don't know if I'm more surprised he sent them after us, or that they actually listened.
If he wasn't insane, I'd be flattered he saw us as a threat.

PHPChatUser4: We lost everything, why is it so hard to believe in what he did?

PHPChatUser5: How can you ask that?

PHPChatUser4: Lets not lose time arguing if his revenge is justified, Kaleh,
can't you see that we don't have a chance against them if we stand eachone alone.
Our only chance to fight back is to stay together. This isn't about ourselves anymore,
is to make sure that our friends haven't sacrified everyhting in vain.

PHPChatUser5: Well, the test signals proved we need more than just us to amplify to their scanners...
I hope Karnis got his history right.

PHPChatUser4: Karnis's plan was stupid.

PHPChatUser5: It may be the only reason there's still two of us.

PHPChatUser4: What are you gonna do now?

PHPChatUser5: Finish this, fix and send this damn warning. It looks like our old friends are
tampering with Janus' model – but I think we can still get the orbit coordinates from it.
Then, we can try the original frequency and we have to get the waveform from Karnis' comm!

PHPChatUser4: Gonna see what i can do, but then i'll meet you.

PHPChatUser5: Maybe, just watch your back.

PHPChatUser4: yes, you too.

I've been reading the website that makes the software that they are using for johannbayer.eu. Looks like it should give you a 3-D star map from each QR code, but my webcam and their software doesn't play nice. Anyone have any success?

Start Trek Arg
Augmented Reality + QR code from Japan

I managed to get the planets and location signifier to come up with the number 102002890 and some dots around the viewing area. This was using the QR code from Tokyo. But it is very hard getting the confirmation box to stay on for me to enter these numbers! I am just holding the piece of paper with the QR code in front of an iMac, so very hard to keep steady....aargh!
