It was more a proof-of-concept of the technology I'm working on, but I think it's worth checking out (it's free to download). I think you will start to see a lot more cool implementations of ARKit/ARCore that integrate with CNN's and do new and unique things.
Edit: 20k downloads in first week, I haven't bothered to market it though.
- billconan 9y agohow ARKit is used in this case? Isn't ARKit for detecting plane objects?
- billconan 9y agooh, for rendering I guess
- hwoolery 9y agoyes, that as well
- hwoolery 9y agoEssentially, just using it to feed frames into the CoreML model, but not using the planar detection. However, I am using ARKit world orientation tracking in other stuff I'm working on like this: https://twitter.com/2020cv_inc/status/969628227130949633 https://twitter.com/2020cv_inc/status/969628227130949633
- pks016 9y agoHi, I have seen your app before, when you released it. (from reddit I guess) Are you planning to release it for android? or any similar apps for android ?
- hwoolery 9y agoI would love it if I had the time and resources to do that, but hard to justify with how poor the retention was on iOS (understandably, from a gimmick like this). Quite a good chance I will be targeting Android first next app I do.
- dharma1 9y agoThat's dope! Feature idea - multiple "lightsabres" in the same frame with collision detection with sparks/sound FX. I can give you the gfx/sound assets if you need :) Used to make little films with my kids using After Effects - here's one - https://youtu.be/IRyy2BhbuaU https://youtu.be/IRyy2BhbuaU They love it but it's quite slow and painstaking. Instant AR version would be amazing.
- hwoolery 9y agoMany people have requested dueling, but there's a few technical hurdles there : ) Nice work with your kid!
- pmtarantino 9y agoNot related with the original question, but your landing is great. No text and in just 2 seconds I understood what your app does.
- hwoolery 9y agoIt's such a dumb idea it doesn't need much explaining, haha
- rambossa 9y agoSo sick. Any insight on the ML models/training?
