QR Codes and Images, Oh My!
QR code’s have long suffered being boring, and kinda ugly. This project gives QR codes the makeover they needed!
Here’s an example of the QR codes the app can create using a source image:
Visualizing 3D Formulas in AR
Math in AR! I think this is a great use case for AR. I definitely see this type of technology being used in geometry classes. Mentally visualizing 3D objects may no longer be necessary one day!
Walk Around 1940’s NYC
1940s.nyc allows you to look at a street view of what NYC was like 80 years ago. In 1939, the Works Progress Administration and the NYC Tax Department teamed up to take a photo of every building in NYC. The results are pretty great!
Interview with my ARtifical Self
Last week, I thought it would be neat to see if I could have a real-time conversation with GPT3 using an ARKit version of myself. The project was a success, and definitely got me excited about a Her sequel! N_AR_cissus, perhaps?
That’s all for this week!
