>>42852 OK, I want to create a much more simplified version of the hefty action plan described in >>42844. We don't just need to plan out how to build the full AR soccer ball bot and project fully interactive AR holograms onto it, we need a plan to build a proof of concept that can attract more people to the project. To me it would go like this: >Create the tracking code (as already outlined) -- including the rolly ball's target reticle calculation frame-to-frame. >Show that we can project images onto the soccer ball (which will be an actual soccer ball done up with fancy lights and markings and not a robot) >Maybe some minor interactivity features like rotating images So nothing anywhere close to the effort it would take to do the full project. It would look more like something a college student hacked together in his dorm room than a professional product. Is there anything I'm leaving out of that?

>>42853 >OK, I want to create a much more simplified version of the hefty action plan described in >>42844. Yeah I totally agree, Anon. In fact I think it displays real wisdom on your part to suggest this more-modest approach to begin with. I'll respond more-fully later to your new posts, but just a quick one to say I approve of this action plan. Cheers, Anon. :^)

Well I saw your aspiration to use this from a phone instead of a PC. That decision significantly complicates things compared to using a smol PC instead (primarily due to the convoluted nature of development on these platforms). I don't have anything definitive yet, but I've gone ahead and looked briefly (an hour or so of research so far) into using a game engine after all if that's the target hardware platform goal for your project. Unity & Godot are the two I've done so far (I refuse to work with (((unr*eal))) ). The >tl;dr here for me, personally, is that we could have a functional tracker system with the four ingredients mentioned in place (cf. >>42850 ) within literally five minutes. But for phone development instead, it would likely take me weeks if not months to investigate and decide between all the (often conflicting) issues to consider. I'm out of my depth experience-wise here, true. But it's simply a more-complex endeavor fundamentally, as well. Not sure what else to say rn in addition. You already have my "game plan" for a PC-based system (cf. >>42844 ). I'll see your response to this post before replying further, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>42862 I know phones can be hard to develop for, but they're mobile and lots of people have them, so it's worth looking at. But ideally it should be multiplatform, so the best plan is to start with whichever platform is the easiest to develop for and expand out from there. But there's something else too. I thought of a potential problem with this system, which is the problem of object permanence. If the system is solely based on projecting an AR hologram onto a QR code through an AR visor, then your waifu will vanish whenever you look away from the ballbot. In order to stop this, you can use a few different methods: >Place a GPS tracker on the ballbot that broadcasts its location to the visor; this could complement the QR codes and light signals, but it's hard to use GPS indoors >Have a master camera connected to the AR visor that has a much wider field of view than a visor and can persistently track the ballbot >Use another separate device besides the AR visor that can receive a signal from the ballbot and triangulate the ballbot's signal in conjunction with the visor to locate it But this "problem" could also be leveraged to acquire extra functionality. As you said, without the unique ID given by a QR code, the system could get confused and project the holowaifu onto the wrong rolly ball. But the QR code/Tron highlight method isn't limited to a ballbot. This system could theoretically be used to place AR holograms anywhere you can put an identifiable QR code. You could paint the side of a building with a QR code and turn it into an AR display. Or, if you didn't feel like building a rolly ball to cart your holowaifu around, you could literally just paint the walls of your house with your holowaifu's QR code. Let's say you've decided to paint the walls in every room of your house with QR codes, and you're in bed with your waifu and then you get up and go to the kitchen for some food. Your waifu will vanish when the QR code in your bedroom leaves your field of view, but when you get to the kitchen and look at the QR code in there, she'll reappear as though she teleported with you. You could even have her appear in multiple places at once. It seems to my novice reckoning that it would be easier to develop a system like this than even a very cheap ballbot because you're eliminating the need to build a robot at all. The ballbot could still be developed at some point to give finer control over your holowaifu's movement, but a holowaifu is fundamentally a being of pure information and therefore not subject to the mobility restrictions of a physical body. But this may end up having its own problems. Since I'm a n00b at actually developing a product, I can't say how it would work out if we did this.

>>42864 Actually, this could be even better. You don't even necessarily have to paint permanent QR codes, and unless you own a building you can't just go painting QR codes on the walls just because you feel like it. But if you use a smartphone projector to project a QR code, your holowaifu can appear anywhere you can find a suitable surface to project a code onto.

>>42421 Agreed.

Any'non know what's been going on with @NoidoDev? He's been out most of the year, AFAICT.

>>42780 Masiro has certainly proved its utility because it has started with just some dude. I attached a snippet of an interview with Matt Oehrlein (of Megabots) with his experiences working with robots meant for public appeal >>42776 I think this was before your time, but China built a robot that they claimed was to built to fight against Megabots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCJ9sJHunVA The robot looks cool and moves! Surely it is a giant fighting robot just like China says! But if you look closely you can see it is bolted to a massive metal platform on the ground. Not so much a mech as it is an animatronic. Don't believe everything you hear, and only half of what you see. Unless you can get in in your own grubby little hands, don't trust any robot promotional material. Especially in the age of AI generated video or video effects. A robot walking against a solid black background is just screaming "chroma key" or some such. And all the jump cuts in the video switching to different angles could easily have the robots swapped in between. I'm a negative nancy because if I am wrong, we all get neat robots but if I'm right we all don't get neat robots but at least I get to go "nyeh nyeh told ya so". Its a win-win for me: hope for the best but plan for the worst :) >===

>>42833 LOL. >"...it's like, you know I kind of threw up a little, in a way. You know what I'm sayin'? It's like, so nausea-inducing to like, hear someone talking this way.

Kinda cynical, but probably warranted during (((Current Year))), alas. :/ >I'm a negative nancy because if I am wrong, we all get neat robots but if I'm right we all don't get neat robots but at least I get to go "nyeh nyeh told ya so". Its a win-win for me: Again, Lol. :D >hope for the best but plan for the worst :)

>>42835 >Matt's soytalk He's actually an ok dude: didn't take himself too seriously. We had a funny little meme war years ago. I've encountered jelly fans tho. The reason the Megabots vs Kuratas fight was so shit is that Suidobashi Heavy Industries (makers of Kuratas) were assholes. They were taken completely by surprise by the challenge and had Megabots sign an NDA about how crap Kuratas actually was (no power steering, needed a guy with a crowbar to change directions) and they would refuse to give up if an unscripted fight got too dangerous. Kuratas was supposedly a mech you could actually buy like the top, but when it was actually put to the test it was much different (bottom). So there certainly is precedent for companies to lie about their robots.

>>42857 I'm just being silly. I'm not offended by such the way that flamboyant sodomites do so. :D >The reason the Megabots vs Kuratas fight was so shit is that Suidobashi Heavy Industries (makers of Kuratas) were assholes. Interesting. I think this is probably a fun & esoteric niche. Please stay safe, Mechnomancer! We all need you around... >So there certainly is precedent for companies to lie about their robots. True of many such cases. Sad. Such is the way of things if sheqels become your "god". Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>42755 Man, I'd love for it to be real, but why does (almost) every Chinese robot video have the same level of contrast/saturation?

>>42759 Heh. I don't know. But for the "naked" video in the lab, I've tried my level best reviewing it for about an hour on loop * and I can't detect any artifacts that make me think it's 3D CGI. IMHO, it would take a major effort by a CGI EFX house to pull that off, which doesn't seem at all reasonable to me for this context. >tl;dr It's real; and the hip complex's (&tc.) design is why it's able to reproduce the MOCAP actress's motion data so well (hip sway, leg toe-in arcs, torso to-the-counter, etc) [1]. (This is why I asked @GreerTech for any pics highlighting this area, BTW. :D I'm totally stealing that sh*te, too! :D --- * looping fwd playback, 1x speed : mpv --loop-file=inf xpeng_iron_fem_no_shroud.mp4 looping rev playback, 1x speed : mpv --loop-file=inf --play-dir=backward xpeng_iron_fem_no_shroud.mp4 alt+(+)/(-) : to zoom in/out ctrl+drag : to pan

>>42765 > I can't detect any artifacts that make me think it's 3D CGI The video has enough compression that any AI artifacts (eg noise) would be canceled out by the compression algorithm. AI generated images/videos always have a level of noise that make it difficult to use a magic wand/fuzzy select. Add some blur and decrease the resolution and you can pretty much eliminate it. Again, I would LOVE for it to be real but the industry has been burned before. If I'm wrong we all get neat robots, but if I'm right we've been bamboozled. I'd be glad to be wrong but at least if I'm right I get to say "I told you so" lol

>>42772 >The video has enough compression that any AI artifacts (eg noise) would be canceled out by the compression algorithm. Ehh, fair enough. But I think I've developed a pretty good eye through the years to pick out CGI work. They usually get the lighting wrong. No signs of that I can see there. :^) >I'd be glad to be wrong but at least if I'm right I get to say "I told you so" lol Kek. Fair enough then. Time will tell. Cheers. :^)

OTOH, if we can learn from and capitalize on their ideas for opensource robowaifu systems, then we should do so IMO.

>>42808 >But I always wanted to do more than just be the Steve Jobs guy here. Lol'd, ngl. :D >You'd have the AR sphere establish a connection with an AR visor, and if you look at it through the visor, you can see your hologram waifu. Totally makes sense in that context then. Do you have any plans for this as a project? I mean do you have parts you're working on making/buying yet? Regardless, good luck with it Anon. Please keep us here all up to date! Cheers. :^) --- I'd think ( >>240 ) is the proper thread to post about it in. Either that or our R&D thread : (currently >>24152 ).

>>42809 Man, I don't know the first thing about how to program an AR hologram waifu, let alone attach her to a Morph Ball that can move around. I've seen a few examples of AR hologram waifus, but none that are attached to a mobile robot. Ideally I'd like this to be a sort of parallel project for robowaifu development. It can be used as not only a visual waifu, but also as a test bed for physical robowaifu systems development. It's possible that AR systems could be used to direct a physical robowaifu's movement, and an AR sphere could integrate with a physical robowaifu for various tasks. But that's undermined by the fact that I don't have any idea to do it. But yes, I should take this to another thread better suited for it, or else just make a new thread.

>>42810 any idea how* to do it
