Augmented Reality Experiments

The goal is to have 52 mini augmented reality projects done by the end of 2022. Hopefully they can be used as a recipe book for larger projects.

Setup

The three tools used were predominately threejs, webxr, and django. Django was only used when a backend was necessary. Django channels was used for websocket and the projects that use websocket require a little extra backend work.

Chrome

These will only work on chromium derived browsers. Even then only chrome is particularly reliable.

Chrome Flags

Many of these experiments require chrome flags enabled specifically: Experimental Web Platform Features and Generic Sensor Extra Classes enabled. These introduce some security issues so try to only visit trusted sites while using these flags (although I believe they aren't commonly exploited yet).

SSL certificates

Most of these html pages must be served over SSL. These files should work on local server; however, because you need to run these on mobile you usually need a simple server with SSL.

Django projects

Many of the projects using django require a bit of extra work in setting up. I'm still looking into a cleaner method of sharing them.
