hand over 3D-object?

By Russel on Tue, 07/31/2012 - 08:34

Is there a way to create the illusion, that the hand appears over the 3D-object and not behind with Vuforia? Especially in a video plane, it would be nice if it would seem so as put his finger on it.

The video and models are being rendered on top of the camera view, which is the video background in Vuforia apps. This is why they are drawn over your hand.

This is not easy to do at all. Perhaps even impossible with the current state of technology. Think about it. The app needs to know the 3d shape of your hand and what it's location and rotation is in 3d space to be able to occlude the AR content.

i think this will be resolve more easy with a skin recognition, and there a lot of papers of that subject, i think this is what sony is using for his wonder book when the kid put the hand over the book and when he holds the ps move and put a wand model but leaves the hand
