Tahiti - AR system to copy and show all things in real-size -

Abstruct and background

"Tahiti" is a AR environment which enables to enjoying AR contents and making AR contents on Web Browsers.

The aim of this system is "to share the feelings of size" and "to make AR contents easily".

Definitely, making AR contents was hard to ordinally people, because 3D modeling software were difficult to use.

I changed the idea of making 3D contents. I made emphasises on "size".

How does it work?

To calculate size, I made "size marker". This size marker is consisted from 2 markers. The distance between them is 10cm.

Tahiti system use this markers as a size benchmark.

Program calculate the objects size using the information of pixels of markers.

(1) Capture images

(2) Calculate the pixels for 10 cm.

(3) After cropping the images, calculate the size of image (object).

(4) Record and save information to Database.

Images

You can capture and crop images using Tahiti system. The only things you need are markers and an object.

Uploaded contents are able to enjoy and share by everyone.
