An unflattering 3D reconstruction comparison
We’re experimenting with macro tubes for photogrammetry, and we tried a comparison between two different cameras and two different reconstruction techniques. The subject was this rather hideous figurine of Bib Fortuna, Jabba the Hutt’s adviser, that a local supermarket gave out a few years ago. The difficulties stem from its diminutive size and from its…

TIL-post: point cloud processing
We’re working on a small archeo-acoustics project, whose starting point is a LiDAR-obtained point cloud in LAS format. This is the first time we’ve worked with this kind of data, so I’m writing down the data processing steps. There is a complete tutorial on handling point clouds in Blender by Florent Poux: https://youtu.be/DCkFhHNeSc0 In order…

This one is pretty basic: in order to change the origin of an object you can right click and choose one of the options: Or you can set it manually, just go into Edit Mode, then at the top right of the viewfinder go to Options, Transform, Affect Only Origins. This allows you to move…

They even came up with their own marketing-infused grammar, they want people to say Apple Vision Pro, never the Apple Vision Pro. Some of the discourse has veered into worries about…

Tiny linkpost: spatial computing annex
In yesterday’s post I neglected to link to a couple of really interesting and accessible essays on spatial interactions, both by Maggie Appleton. In Historical Trails there are wonderful examples on how chronological information can be shifted to a spatial representation, allowing for better and faster retrieval, and more generally for matching the semantics of…

Apple Vision launch day, spatial computing paradigms
The Apple Vision Pro orders just opened (US only), and they also uploaded a new guided tour, which gives us a chance to reflect on what kind of experiences Apple is putting front and center. In the VR community there has been much ado about Apple’s choice to entirely refuse the industry jargon: there is…
