XRAD Remote Positioning
Project created in team with the AR developer Alberto Taiuti during the SCAPEHACK 2019 organised by Scape Technologies, London. Our project won the Community Vote Award!
I specifically worked on designing and coding the WebVR remote positioning client and editing the 3D model to ensure correct AR visualisation.
XRAD Remote Positioning is the first platform using WebVR in combination with AR for context-aware remote placement of any content on 3D maps and real-time visualisation in the real world.
For the remote positioning of the objects in WebVR, we used A-Frame and a high-detail 3D model of a London area created by AccuCities, which made it possible for us to achieve unprecedented precision.
The same 3D content is then made available in real time to other users who can view it in the real world through their AR-capable devices.
To localise the iPhone device and display the AR content we used the Scape Technologies hyper-accurate visual positioning service.
Demo Video
This video show how we could create objects in the WebVR scene and spawn them in AR just outside the Scape Technologies office.
