How to place wrist watch if human wrist gets detected?

By mrunalabhatt on Tue, 08/07/2012 - 09:36

Hi all,

I am completely new into AR technology, I do have knowledge of iOS native code application.

I have searched about several APIs/SDKs but I found this vuforia - a better option.

I have also referred this site and given example, and I do really find its awesome. So I would like to know how to create my own application with the same.From where and how do I start?My project requirement is like this:

  • I have several wrist-watch images, so user will pick one out of those
  • Then camera will get launched and user will put his wrist into that
  • Camera will automatically detect that human-wrist and place the watch at the right place.

After that user will also be able to take a picture of that screen.Questions: 

  1. What I found is AR code is normally base upon markers? So how to create and detect human hand/wrist as a marker over here?
  2. Also how to place selected wrist-watch image at the particular position?

Waiting for the reply.

Vuforia is capable of detecting and tracking planar (i.e. flat ) images. It's not going to be able to detect the shape of a wrist. But you could develop the application that you've described by having the user place an image on the top of their wrist.

Your best bet is to study the Image Targets and Framemarkers samples as a starting point.

Basically you could use either of these as a recognition starting point and place the image on a paper band of some sort and then get the software to augment a model on top.

I have a graduation project that is nearly the same of your question using vuforia and unity

for now we have the target (paper) and the watch object , the problem that the watch is showen above the wrist not around it ??????????
