Now people can view my art in Augmented Reality by using WebAR -- after going to these links on their smart phones (without downloading an app):
Or just click on the Animated GIFs below (to experience Augmented Reality on your Smart Phone):

The WebAR
METHOD
I used a WebAR site to generate the AR code -- and then uploaded the HTML code and GLB file to a server at Southwest Cyberport using WinSCP (an FTP client) -- to deliver these 3D Augmented Reality experiences.
1) FIRST I generated the 3D objects with various AI programs online:
- MONTER MASH
- GENIE by Luma Labs (in Discord)
- CSM (Common Sense Machines)
- Tripo (a newer 3D program, that I have not used for AR yet)
- Paint 3D (in Windows 10) works to to draw 3D figures directly, without AI
Then I would reduce the the 3D file to a smaller byte size with OptimizeGLB online (view the GLB files at this link).
3) Lastly I generated turntable animations of the GLB files in Paint 3D, and turned them into animated GIFs using EzGIF, to post on this blog entry.

NOTE: Sometimes after going through the WebAR transformation process, a small GLB file swells up to a huge GLB file. For instance, in "Face -- AR," the GLB file is only 704 KB, but was blown up to over 8 MBs after process for WebAR. I suspect this is the colored texture map, inflating from WebP into JPEG format.
PAST AR
I have been previously experimenting with AR (Augmented Reality):
AR PRINTS
Ultimately I want to trigger AR with "targets" (like QR codes) -- specifically I would like someone to scan one of our framed 8x8 inch prints to conjure up a related AR object in 3D:
AR SCULPTURES
I want to add my AR Sculptures to the Sculpture Garden in front of the Albuquerque Art Museum...or even on the street corner somewhere amongst the architecture:
However my first AR experiences were underwhelming, such as when my tiny AR Sculpture stood in front of the ART VAULT Gallery in Santa Fe:
AR INTERACTIVE
During the Tucson Sculpture Festival of 2013 we combined AR with IOT (the Internet of Things):
We placed a 3D print on an AR target on a Lazy Susan. If viewed from the tablet, the viewer could see the two of the same objects -- both the AR skull image, and the 3D print of that same skull. Then from a URL on their smart phone, they could spin both the real and virtual skull on the Lazy Susan.
Hmmm...does AR reveal the Dark Matter in the space?
