New From The Lab
A Bit Of A Tangent…
Recently, I haven’t been focused on one specific project here at the lab, and have been dabbling in a couple of things. I have officially moved my Mammoth Simulator over to iPads using the Google Anchors that I spoke about in my previous article. On the side, I have been doing some 3D modeling and […]
The Best AR Hardware
I’m a bit busy today with a paper deadline, so I’ll just leave you with a thought I had this morning. I tried out the best piece of AR hardware a little over a year ago; I started wearing glasses and saw the world like I hadn’t seen since I was a kid. I don’t […]
