What is Re:Earth AR?

The Re:Earth AR (augmented reality) app visualizes Re:Earth objects in real space using your mobile phone’s camera and GPS. It is currently being developed in Unity3D for Android by Mashi.

Re:Earth ARは、スマホのカメラとGPSを用いてRe:EarthのプロジェクトをARで再現できるアプリです。NYCメンバーのMashiに開発中です。

What can it do?

There will be much more that Re:Earth AR will become capable of as I develop more functionalities based on feedback from the team. But here are the features currently available on the app.

アプリに新しい機能を追加する途中ですが、現在使える機能が以下に載っています:

• Enter any subdomain or URL for a Re:Earth project. With one button, retrieve 3D models and markers from the project’s data file and render them in AR at their corresponding locations using GPS. Re:Earthプロジェクトのサブドメイン、またはURLを検索バーに入力します。ボタンを押して、3Dモデルとマーカーの情報をプロジェクトから取得し、アプリのカメラで見れるように該当する緯度・経度に写します。

• Tap 3D models or markers to view the contents of their Infobox through a scrolling window. モデルかマーカーをタップすれば、画面にInfoboxの内容が見えます。

Touch any generated object to see their infobox in the below display.

• Hold any 3D model for at least one second to drag and adjust its position over any surface detected by your device. 3Dモデルを1秒押せば、カメラが認識した平らな場所に位置を調整できます。
