The tracking still isn't perfect, but that's a trivial problem compared to getting the camera view and 3D graphics rendering properly. I've been working on this AR technology for months and I've almost got everything working!

That's awesome!

I'm curious as to why you went with 2D codes instead of geolocation?

An AR company we do stuff with has a geolocation based ad service where you make your own floating billboard appear over your street address (god knows why you'd opt in for more street advertising though).

Also someone linked me to this on twtter:

Tracking precision. I mean, I already said that I need to adjust the sloppy tracking in this video, but more generally tracking markers is precise enough to tell you down to the pixel where the object should be, versus vague GPS tracking which is pretty much only accurate enough to tell you which house you're standing in front of. That level of accuracy is fine for floating a sign up in the air, but you're never gonna make something standing on the ground that way.

I am in total appreciation for this threads title. Also Im in total love with my best bud of all times little sister. Not in a I want to bang her type way, but in a like family sorta way. We are both from Regina, she is visiting Montreal from Ottawa with her BF and we had an awesome reminiscing bonding night

Right, so I met with a good friend of mine last week and she told me that she was seeing this guy who I really don't like. I told her so, I told her the reasons why I didn't like him (he came to me while she was away and more or less bragged about having fucked her, plus the guy just skeevs me out in general, plus Other Reasons) and today I saw her again and she told me that she had gotten into a fight with him over this and she was angry at him and at me. She's tired of having to be self-conscious in our quote unquote "friend group" and she reads my dislike of him to be coming from the fact that she essentially dated him right after she had broken up with my best friend. Honestly she's one of my best friends and it's not my place to make any sort of judgment on who she sees, and I told her that. Now, I don't claim to be knowledgeable about how human interaction really works (really this is all learned for me) but this felt like a sort of shot across the bow - I don't know what she wants me to stop doing, but she wants something and it's stressing me out trying to pinpoint what will make her happy, because it sure feels like she's lost a lot of confidence in me.
