I recently read an article that said it’s essential to write for 5-10 minutes daily. It makes sense; people work out to train muscles, practice to improve at sports, and, I assume, write to refine their writing. Today I will talk about how I want to integrate photogrammetry into this website.<\/p>

Art has never been my specialty, perhaps just due to a short attention span or indecisiveness. Still, I’ve never been able to use a brush on a canvas and be satisfied by the jarring, almost abstract result. I did get quite good at writing code in the Unity engine, but without any ability to create art assets, I can’t help but feel like Wozniak without Jobs. That’s where photogrammetry comes in! Photogrammetry (from my limited understanding) is a magic compilation of algorithms that transforms hundreds of images of an object into a 3D model. Instead of spending hours in Bender trying to make a rock, I can take photos of a real rock and end up with the same result in an equivalent time frame. But what does this have to do with my website?<\/p>

I rarely finish things, so any photogrammetry work I do for a game will probably end up in the trash can with the rest of the failed project. To prevent the work from going to waste, I wish to make an easily publicly accessible library of photogrammetry assets, both as a showcase of my work for others and as well as giving me a reason to learn about the horrifying world of typescript. The plan is for my “gallery” of assets to be accessed using a QR code, allowing the user to see the object using mobile AR. For example, McLaren lets you look at their newest supercar using this method.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

So how do we do this? There seem to be a few different methods, but I think using Apple’s AR Kit is the easiest. The process is relatively simple, take a 3D model, and turn it into a .USDZ file using Apple’s reality composer, then embed it in your website using HTML! In theory, what I just said makes sense and will have 0 issues; however, in practice, I know I am about to run into a whirlwind of problems. I apologize preemptively to those close to me, as I will soon be corrupted by the “debug plague” (thanks Eric for the name) and will be more toxic than a League of Legends player.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
