THE AUGMENTED DREAM
More specifically, I want to exhibit my AUGMENTED REALITY sculptures in FIXED LOCATION in the
Albuquerque Museum Sculpture Garden, as in this AI mock-up below:
PICTARIZE
I might be able to do with the free online software
PICTARIZE -- as it allows me to position 3D objects over specific "TARGET" images (
like I blogged about earlier).
3D SCULPTURE "TARGET"
I really want to use one "Target" Sculpture to summon two different AUGMENTED REALITY experiences. The
Bill Barrett abstract sculpture in front of the Albuquerque Museum has distinct views from different sides -- so I used the North and Head On views as "Targets" to summon two different AR sculptures in
PICTARIZE.
Go to
THIS LINK and try to view two different AR experiences from the same sculpture in person at the Albuquerque Museum:
FIRST AUGMENT
As viewed from the SOUTH side
South "TARGET" View
I took a photo of the SOUTH View, and used
RemoveBG to remove the background, upscaled that in
ChatGPT, and then used that simpler sculpture contour as a "Target" image view:
(keeping the transparent background)

as viewed from the SOUTH Side
SECOND AUGMENT
As viewed HEAD ON
Head On "TARGET" View
I took a photo of the HEAD ON View, and used
RemoveBG to remove the background, upscaled that in
ChatGPT,
and then used that simpler sculpture contour as a "Target" image view:

as viewed HEAD ON
NOTE: The First AUGMENT (from the South Side) only worked after I upscaled the "Target" image with ChatGPT. That is, it worked from all the three photos online (in this web post). I have not tried yet in the real world Albuquerque Museum.
The Second Augment (Head On) only worked from the first "Target" image, and not the two following photos on this blog page. I have not tried yet in the real world Albuquerque Museum.
