Post 09 - Meeting with Nick Cope

The group took part in a meeting with Nick Cope and discussed the idea of incorporating an 'augmented reality' end product. We discussed the possibilities and the various details, such as the use of markers and pre-exisitng sequences of code. The software applications Virtools  and ARTools were shown to the group as a demonstration of what could be achieved.


This idea is a very interesting one and the meeting with Nick was some what reassuring. There was mention of using Virtools to either make augmented reality, or even the previous game idea. We later on discussed what we should continue doing. We acknowledged that it was important to continue with research into these software packages as well as their capabilities. We also delegated a couple of shapes each to mock up using 3Ds max. Jon was tasked with a making a pillar, Chris with a triangular shape and I with an arch. We will work on these and come up with a model, plus a variant, in order to get a couple of designs from each shape.
