Hi All,

I am doing a research project and am having trouble wrapping my head around a few things.

I am trying to use ARCores point cloud to be used to compare to a synthetic 3d building model in outdoor environments but am having trouble finding articles that detail any algorithms or methods that can use the points to compare to the synthetic 3d model and "correct" the spatial map in the environment.

I am assuming that the synthetic 3d building may need to either be turned into a point cloud as well or vice versa and matched but could be wrong. I cannot find much implementation using the model based or edge based tracking.

I thought Googles geometric streetscape api was something similar but instead of using the images from street view id be replacing it with 3D models from something like cityGML to enhance things like depth perception etc.

basically i am looking for something that can effectively align a 3d model of a building, with the actual building without lidar, and use the 3d model of the building to correct the position of the user and enhance depth perception.

I would appreciate if someone can point me to some journal articles that might help me put something together.

Hi all! I'm doing some research for my university, and I'm curious what everybody thinks is the strongest privacy risks of AR/MR/XR technology.

I really just want simple offline glasses to get subtitles for IRL conversations in 4-5 different languages. Not some skigoogle-kinds like apples newest, but more like rai-ban. I want them to be completely offline and as few features possible to make them as battery efficient as possible. But if there's only glasses out there that requires a phone connection, then that it is.

I have looked at Xander glasses, but they got double lenses and all double lenses glasses I've used (non AR) have made me dissy and my eyes hurt.

The one thing that I think that I may have use for is a built in POV camera. But the most important factor is that they are neat and that they look like normal glasses.

I'm looking for some advanced glasses to try out that's not several hundred dollars. I have found some with good reviews but said reviews only talk about how good the audio quality is, they don't mention the screen quality at all or say you can watch videos on it. I mean music is cool but I also want something I can watch movies on and play games on via Bluetooth

If not all smart glasses play videos/games I'd appreciate some cheap recommendations to dip my toes into

Are you open to exploring virtual tours, augmented reality visualizations, and other spatial computing tools to make your home-buying experience more immersive and convenient? Why?

Hello, I'm writing a scientific paper about possible digital extensions for analog media. Especially for print products in my case. However, I find it difficult to gather usecases of print media which feature AR. There are many providers, examples on how to implent AR and everything of that sort, but I need an actual product which I can review, or an already well documentented one (would'nt mind at all).

If you have any suggestions, maybe a book that uses AR, or a magazine, flyer, anything really, I'd be very thankful if you could help me out. It just needs a documentation, or I need to be able to get/buy it, you get the general idea.

Thanks in advance!

PS: If in addtition you have German/Spanish sources that works for me as well :)

Posted a spicy take it wasn’t real because they hadn’t posted a single demo video that showed a legitimate review.

Interesting response!

I'm a principal with a startup that has developed and launched a novel user interface for AR/MR/XR. We have two patents and are in early-stage talks with Meta for a collaboration. We've been working with an East-coast law firm for five years but now need to switch to a firm with deep connections in the West-coast tech ecosystem and experience representing startups in negotiations with the big XR companies.

I'm hoping for names, direct referrals and suggestions. But also for any advice and pointers on how to find such a firm.

Thanks,

Steve

Can AR trick your brain senses?

Including holograms

For example if your room all got turned out into a cold environment (snow and chunks of ice cubes etc...) with AR/Hologram

Or turned into a vulcano (fire everywhere black-red lights + smoke filling the ceiling)

Or turned into a moving desert making you feel drownning

Will that trick your brain therefore make you feel cold/hot? and without any actual tempreatures changes or wearing a suit or whatever, the only thing that changed is the visuals (using AR/Holograms) + sounds (using headphone)?

What do you think?

I've developed an AR indoor navigation system for a building with 3 floors including ground floor.

Since I've no experience using Unity and no experience in AR and C, I don't know how to develop the system.

Fortunately there's an tutorial in YT consists of 5 parts on how to implement the system.

I followed the steps and built my own but what seems the problem is since my building infrastructure is big, the accuracy percentage is below average.

Recently, I've been discovering about SDK's to indoor navigation including IndoorAtlas, ImmersalAR, ARway and etc.

There's methods to do the system,

1. Visual Positioning System
2. Beacon (BLE)

Few days ago I thought that I've not properly utilised the features in the ARcore and ARFoundation.

Now, I'm confused as I've been reading too much articles and blogs and researched alot bout this but didn't grab the perfect idea yet.

I just want mentorship/guidance on how to improve my system.

Can I just improve it better without implementing VPS/BLE or I must implement it as it cause cost to do the implementation.

Does anyone have experience in this or have developed system like this before can give me a hand here please?

Thanks.

Is this not a need for the future of AR? I do not see a future of depending on Google or Niantic or another company’s API.

Is this a thing at all?

I’m working with some artists and we are selling physical, and digital prints. I want to include a 3D model of a reflective frame with the art in it. This needs to be a permanent item, so it would be hosted indefinitely and can’t pay significant monthly’s to a tool that is geared to short campaigns.

The approach needs to work on both iOS and Android, and ideally track/stick to a wall.

Can anyone share thoughts or recos on what approach to take?

I followed AR options 3-4 years ago but everything was lacking. Was hopeful for adobes approach but that seems dead. I’m a 3D artist so can easily create low poly high quality texture models. Thank you!

Hello, I have a client who is interested in creating a paint visualiser app like dulux or asian paints visualiser, where you can visualise how paint will look like on your wall, I tried plane detection and colouring, but it isn't that accurate and smooth, can anyone help me with this? Btw, I am using Flutter

Hi everyone, i'm doing a project for university that requires the application of AR to manufacturing processes, the problem is that for the application i have to create i need a device that has the same (or similar) level of precision of Hololens 2 (precision in superimposing the image on the real thing) but with a lower cost. Can anyone suggest me the best alternatives to hololens 2 having similar performances and functions? I'm a newbie and just started to learn pls help.

Just saw in the Unity Learn program that Windows OS can't launch app/experience to both iOS and Android. Obviously, I don't have MacOS and it's not possible (right now) to buy Mac.

Any alternative can you suggest so I can still use Unity? Orrrr that's just a dead end for me?

Hello yall, i am trying to make my own homemade AR project. The goal is for it to attach to an existing pair of wide sunglasses of a similar style like pit viper. I am trying to find a tiny led strip or screen that has multiple pixel in a row. The goal is to make it be like a very simple compass or a very simple waypoint bar like you would find in skyrim. So it needs to be programable. I dont know where to start as i am new to this technology. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. If someone has already done this or something similar this would speed up development. It doesnt need to support multiple colors.

I've only seen RayNeo X2 mentioned here recently.

Any upcoming AR glasses that I should be looking out for?

Also, people who have used RayNeo X2 thus far, what has been your experience like?
