AR Augmented Reality LEGO

This is my first try custom AR (Argument Reality) model. Using Minecraft brick for Mecabrick to test (This brick design have bug).

It would be nice if LDD or any Lego CAD have AR feature.

Well, I think we all want to know how you made that :grin:

It looks nice, by the way. It runs very smooth and it really looks like the brick sticks on the paper. :thumbup:

^{Thanks, 'legolijntje'. It was too late last night when I made that, so I post the tutorial this morning.}

^{ipad: Get e-drawings APP (1.99 USD), open any 3d sample model, press [AR] then [get marker] button to send the marker e-mail to yourself. Print the marker to A4 paper. Try AR with sample model.}

^{PC: Download and install eDrawings Publisher (free). Open your 3d model then save as edrawig format (*.eprt ). Then attache it to e-mail and send to youself.}

Play Mecabricks / Ldraw / LDD　model in AR App (Augmented Reality). Using a brick-build AR marker.

Export mecabricks model to .stl then import and save it in e-drawings.

I will try to improve quality later.

^ The work flow is similar to post #3 above.

- ipad/iphone : Get e-drawings APP (2 USD), open any 3d sample model, press [AR] then [get marker] button to send the marker e-mail to yourself. Print the marker onto a paper. Try AR with any sample models.

- Open a Lego model in Mecabricks.com 's workshop, [file] -> [export] -> pick .stl format.

- PC: Download and install eDrawings Publisher / Viewer (free). Open your .stl model then save as edrawig format (*.eprt ). Then attache it to e-mail and send to youself.
