Weekly accomplishments
Continuing from my previous post, I created another prototype for a “tabletop AR experience to inspire creativity” and focused on figuring out the best settings for my materials from blender to the importing process. I also created a custom marker to test out how that works, which I printed out on an 8″x11″ piece of paper. It seems to work better if the QR code is not overlapping the marker. The viewer can also rotate and zoom in on the model using their finger.

Challenges
I feel like I’m getting comfortable with this workflow, which was my main challenge in the beginning. My next challenge will be how this is displayed in the space and solidifying the working title and marker. Another issue will be figuring out of I need to re-orient the models to work if the marker is vertical instead of flat.

Future Work
Next week I’ll be focusing on the display, poster and final form of what I could bring to the April 7th event for testing. I think for the final month of this project following that I’ll be able to see how people responded and make adjustments, since I plan to have a few different experiences for people to view rather than just one.
