development documentation
reality note:
the Tanqram development page is mockup-free. we believe in an honest reporting and thus do not fake any technology we do not have at the time of publishing. Fabian Wyss, founder of Tanqram
2019-08-20 the MVP of the new vector based creator is done. it's very intuitive to add .SVG templates via the opensource vector drawing program inkscape.
2018-09-23 it took us a while to improve the recognition algorithm but it's now stronger than ever and capable to decrypt colorful tanqrams with various background graphics.
2018-06-30 animation draft for our future marketing.
2018-06-13 finally a motionpicture of our Tanqram reader scanning a fox token.
yet we work on recognition, zoom, focus and image stability.
2018-05-09 this is what the first raw zxing readout of a tanqram token with 44mm diameter looks like. still some work to go until it works fast and smooth with our test android phone but the image quality looks very promising...
2018-05-08 happily we can announce that Tanqram has been accepted to participate in the creative link program of switzerland's creative hub. https://www.creativehub.ch/index.php?seite=sites/d/detaillaufend.php&id=266
2018-05-08 we have continued development on all ends. while we focus on our scan app to read out a token sized Tanqram with an android mobilephone with 13MP camera, we have already drafted what our webgenerator could look like
2018-04-29 sample aluminium tokens with the new outline design for optimal detection. we aim to read out any day from now...
2018-04-09 proof of concept (WIP) (OS) from a video input of an iphone SE.
we are still debugguing but this screengrab proofs that the software is now capable to read out a first Tanqram.
2018-04-03 linux alpha prototype reader (OS)
