Augmenting coit tower
- I took a scan of the entrance staircase
- I brought the scan into blender and scaled a 3D model of coit tower to align with the scan. I made a 3D model of coit tower using photogrammetry and many screenshots of the tower from Apple Maps.
- I baked a simple animation, then exported the coit tower model and animation separately. I added the animation and the mesh (with xrextras-hider-material) to my wayspot in the same manner as the VPS bespoke sample project.
I found it useful to add an opacity slider which overlayed the 3D model of tower to help understand how different angles compared in localization accuracy and to help find the best place to localize.
I will note that it took me a couple of tries to get it aligned perfectly. Accuracy is pretty noticeable at a large distance. The closer you can localize to the structure, the better.
