Testing with 3D objects


Hello!

I did a few tests with 3D objects and Aurasma just to see what would happen!

It is a bit finicky.

The first one I tried was with my laptop, I put a gif on it using Aurasma. Aurasma alerted me that it may not work so well due to the trigger image not being very unique, but I haven't had really any difficulty getting it to work. I figured it would work well because it's flat.

I would like to get a video of it at some point to show that it works even if the laptop is moved or closed, etc. But currently just have a photo of it in the app!


He dances!


For the second, I tried a water bottle, something I figured wouldn't really work. It works, but it's finicky. You can't turn it, and you have to have it at the same view as I took the photo for the trigger image. Being a sort of at level view. If you try a bird's eye view of it or worm's eye view, or turn it much, it won't work. Still an interesting test though!


Also, kind of like the laptop, I tried using an image on a cover of a book as my trigger image, but this time I overlayed a video with sound on top of it. It worked out just as well. And can be viewed below or with the actual book.

  1. thank you for these interesting (and useful) tests, Alexandra!

    maybe for 3D object, create more than one aura, from same object, all with same "overlay" result.
    (this is the sort of thing I'm thinking about, anyway.)

    maybe your tests (successes and failures and in-betweens) can be a topic!
