DS999 Week Five (Exploring Web Based AR)

Weekly accomplishments:
This week I was able to run my first test in AR, after doing some troubleshooting with AR.js Studio I determined it would be a good idea to try a test with Reality Composer, and it worked very well. The user interface is relatively seamless and much easier to use, I also received a contact at WID as a venue for this project, which is great news.

This test is an example of one of my abstract 3D sculptures created in Blender, called “Comfort Sculpture”. I was able to test the relative scale to the room and viewer to give me a sense of how it translates from the software to the AR viewer.



Challenges:
Some challenges this week was shifting focus to a different software, what I liked about AR.js Studio was its capability to be used cross-platform, since Reality Composer will be specific to iOS devices.

Future work:
Next week I’ll be focusing on the overall vision, concept and design for the project aesthetics, as well as scheduling a time to tour around WID. The final link technologically will also be publishing it to a linked website that can be scanned via QR codes.
