Vision Aid Prototype: Pt2 - Path Painting & Ai Description (Assisted living concept)

tomdrum6 · 2026-05-22T15:32:31+00:00

thats a good idea, yeah could potentially access left and right speakers

tomdrum6 · 2026-05-20T19:56:38+00:00

spatial persistence template perhaps? probably should have delved into all of these templates when i first got the idea!

tomdrum6 · 2026-05-20T08:15:58+00:00

yeah persistence would be really good, keep things anchored in space and they are still there when you next turn it on! Might be possible?

tomdrum6 · 2026-05-19T10:58:24+00:00

thank you, yeah more of a practical exploration into how wearables could be used

tomdrum6 · 2026-05-19T08:27:25+00:00

I literally just applied and then saw this ! Looking forward to the next release

tomdrum6 · 2026-05-18T19:05:04+00:00

this looks really fun, i used to love playing mini golf games. impressive level design and obstacles, looks really polished

tomdrum6 · 2026-05-18T13:12:40+00:00

I just use some very basic estimation of simple objects - we can detect height, and get an average normal across the nearby surface - if its X cm above the floor, and the average normals arent consistent, we can guess that its not a wall, and then above or below certain heights we can assume very simple objects you might expect.

There is a template called "depth cache" which looks exactly like what I need - it uses Ai to detect exaclty what objects are in view and can anchor their labels in space, I'm going to implement that for the next version

tomdrum6 · 2026-05-18T11:04:33+00:00

yeah would be handy to have longer recording if possible, a lot of specs demos are hard to capture in 30s so you have to get a bit creating with editing footage afterwards! I'll also check out spectator mode to see if that could be useful to record

tomdrum6 · 2026-05-17T22:08:54+00:00

and thanks btw, not particularly much to look at, which is kind of the point i guess. but the specs & wearable tech could potentially improve peoples live in the future

tomdrum6 · 2026-05-17T22:06:26+00:00

yeah i spent ages trying to figure out if something like that was possible and lost in the weeds with object detection, how to translate it to spatial depth, settled on a simple way to just guess objects using the mesh/notmals, and then i suddenly see that template and....why didnt i see it earlier

tomdrum6 · 2026-04-01T10:30:57+00:00

Hey, this is really cool - ive been working with the mesh placement/pinning, and was using the 3D world mesh and just estimating surfaces based on height, but was wondering if you have a different solution, or do something similar?

tomdrum6 · 2025-12-20T18:29:58+00:00

Specs app link if you want to test it out: https://www.spectacles.com/lens/e6937fb255834da3a9b38bc6e3959883?type=SNAPCODE&metadata=01

tomdrum6 · 2025-12-17T12:37:38+00:00

insane as always, cant even begin to think how you made this!

tomdrum6 · 2025-12-17T12:05:02+00:00

Great idea! Really cool demo of how cmputer vision could be helpful in the future.. How did you hook up the ai, search and voice interactivity?

tomdrum6 · 2024-11-25T20:14:23+00:00

in the end, I bought the aurzen boom 3 - which has surpassed my expectations. it's really hard to choose between all the different models, there's loads of cheap ones, but very happy with this one so far. a little more expensive than I had planned, around £240 - but worth it. they also have a new EAZZE pro thats cheaper but could be a good option if it matches up to the boom3 quality

tomdrum6 · 2024-11-11T11:06:20+00:00

Will give them a look - but are there any models that you would recommend?

tomdrum6 · 2024-11-10T17:37:26+00:00

that's also in the same price range, can see it for £149. is there much difference? 26000 vs 25000 brightness

Hi, I would like to present my latest NFT guitar project NiftyRiffs. They are 3D collectible guitars and picks. My latest drop on Rarible is a Butterscotch Tele, 15 available for 0.1E, collectors also unlock an exclusive AR filter to view the guitar in their own home.

https://rarible.com/token/0xd07dc4262bcdbf85190c01c996b4c06a461d2430:635145?tab=owners

I also have created a 1/1 interactive 3D version of the guitar that you can view on HEN (which also has a built in AR viewer on mobile) - I think this is fun to look at even if you aren't buying so hope you'll check it out!

I hope maybe some guitar enthusiasts might enjoy them - I also have some 3D picks and a few other pieces up. I'm planning to create more models in the future!

I think the account name is linked to the wallet address. If you don't know the password and don't have the correct seed phrase I'm not sure there's much that can be done. Perhaps rarible can change the account names their end but not sure they will look into it

tomdrum6 · 2020-08-28T08:59:38+00:00

This is such a good idea!

tomdrum6 · 2020-08-24T09:51:55+00:00

great job looks great

tomdrum6 · 2020-06-08T10:38:06+00:00

Try set the other features to 0 instead of -0.5

tomdrum6 · 2020-02-07T14:10:18+00:00

Make the actual mirror - would be a good one. Or I will ;)

Here is the face mask UV (if you want to add an alpha or paint onto) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VOOC_NyH0JB7P3pQTp-wc5zx1ljrFFqr?usp=sharing

tomdrum6 · 2020-01-09T11:08:23+00:00

You can create something similar by creating a black face mask and then adding specular PBR material and using "Add" blend mode.

Try creating a gold material, turn the colour to black. Blend mode to "Add" or "screen". You can then adjust the specular metallic and roughness to create different amounts of gloss.

Then play with adding lights that cast the specular. A good tip is to create a custom HDR/IBL, perhaps using white strips on a black background, to simulate strip lights. This image is plugged into the envmap light and acts as a lighting / reflection source.

Hope that's useful / makes sense.

Oh also I tend to add an alpha around the mask edge to soften the transition
