Augmented Foam Sculpting for Capturing 3D Models

[leorahul16]

Before watching this video all the applications of Augmented Reality I knew were in Entertainment and Video Games. Really innovative work over here. What do you use to code this stuff ARToolkit or OpenCV? How did you change the pose of the object and projected it through the video?

Hey

In this video the foam cutter and foam were tracked using a magnetic tracking system from Polhemus, but it would work with any tracker that gives position and orientation information. I used a library called cgal to actually perform the CSG boolean operations on the geometry. The rest of the code was written by me, and is inspired by the Shader Lamps work from Ramesh Raskar et al.
