3DSnap
3D Snapchats. We wanted to build something cool, something that involved a 3DS. Not your typical hackathon hack, right?
4 webservers. One in PHP. one in Node.JS. and two more in Flask, because why not.
2 clients. Mobile (iOS/Android) and 3DS.
Oh, and Eric wrote a blog post about the hack.
challenges
- running custom code on a 3DS
- taking pictures with a 3DS and using HTTP POST to transfer it across the web
- receiving pictures with a 3DS and rendering them in 3D without giving the user a headache
- taking stereoscopic 3D images with a smartphone that only has one camera
- rendering such images on a smartphone and crafting a 3D appearance
the process:
- hack 3DS and do tons of reverse engineering, evil bit hacks and guessing to interface with 3DS hardware
- figure out how to take stereoscopic 3D images - with iPhones, Android phones, and the 3DS.
- render 3D stuff everywhere.
- and you have...
