FW Editor: What are your plans or objectives in the near future?
Kristofer Björnson: My hope is to be able to set up an add and donation based bussiness that can produce free and inventive software that helps solve daily problems.

FW Editor: Can you tell us more about dafer45.com? What is the history of this company? How everything begun?
Kristofer Björnson: I finished my master degree in physics this summer, and emediatly turned to Android programming. Throughout the summer I have been astonished about how much I have been able to do in such a short time. I have in this limited time been able to write a GPS based area measurement application, a compass that points to a custom location instead of to the north, a simple random generator, and a few more applications. All which I initially had expected to take a lot more time. All the user feedback I have recieved through this time has been a truly amazing experience.

FW Editor: What inspired you the most in creating the code for this application?
Kristofer Björnson: My background in physics made the android phones sensor parts very interesting to play around with. As I realized that I pretty easily could create a package that at least provided the most basic functionallity needed to build further virtual/augmented-reality applications upon, their was not much that could stop me from doing so. I was hooked!

FW Editor: Can you tell us more about Virtual/Augmented reality package and what makes this software so powerful?
Kristofer Björnson: The Virtual/Augmented reality package is a very early release of a free java package for android developers that want to build Virtual/Augmented-reality applications. It does at the moment only provide the most basic functionalities such as directing the camera inside the 3D world based on the telephones "real world" directions, basically what is needed for virtual reality. It does also provide support for overlaying the 3D world upon a camera view and movement based on GPS position, which is an initial step toward augmented reality support. The package is also built with the intention to be first of all very intuitive and easy to use, but to be customable at the same time. If you do not want a GPS based position handling, it is instead possible to use another module that for example constantly moves the user inside the 3D world in the direction he is looking. Something that for example could be useful in a flight simulator, where you constantly move forward. All code is also available from the site, so custom tweaks to the underlying software is possible.

FW Editor: How can you characterize Virtual/Augmented reality package in just a few words?
Kristofer Björnson: An initial step toward a fully functioning Virtual/Augmented-reality package that is available for free, and with open source.

FW Editor: Which is the most important feature of this package?
Kristofer Björnson: It handles camera positioning and direction automatically. Leaving the android programmer only responsible to create the actuall world to move in, and other application specific logic.

FW Editor: Which is your favorite feature and why?
Kristofer Björnson: The camera direction and position detection features. That is what makes it virtual/augmented-reality.

FW Editor: Is there anything you would like to share with Virtual/Augmented reality package users?
Kristofer Björnson: It is at the moment rough. But it provides basic functionallity, is free, and everything is open. So it is possible to tweak everything that doesn't work properly. I am also available through my mail dafer45@gmail.com whenever their is any questions.
