chrome inspect WebARonCore
- workflow exploration
marker support with QRcode data documentation
- for Apainter Vive to out of the screen AR "extraction" PoC
- cf https://glitch.com/edit/#!/generated-avatar?path=README.md:9:1
- https://github.com/google-ar/three.ar.js/pull/83
AFrame/argon compatibility
- using getPickingPointAndPlaneInPointCloud() in assuming it has Android (thus Chromium-WebAR) support
testing ADF
- https://webar.glitch.me/adf (with Vorlon for remote debugging)
- https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchPeopleCode/comments/6p1jdp/exploring_adf_in_webar_using_chromiumwebar_js_4pm/
- seems to list all ADFs present on the device and display meta data about the first one
  - tap to enable/disable the first ADF
medium scale AR
- align Tango with video projector, define vertical offset between camera and projector (~5cm)
- use getPickingPointAndPlaneInPointCloud() to find a flat surface and return it's central position and angle
  - for now use a fixed size flat surface
- use those coordinates to display a textured plane in A-Frame with a black background
- inspired by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gkidC6hTlY|Realtime Projection Mapping with HTC Vive]
TangoAnywhere, TCP server for position
A-painter real world display (~MR camera)
shapping the environment of an on-going VR world
- e.g. provide to an Aframe scene points of interaction (e.g. whack-a-mole spots) via websockets

      - motivated by "using an android app to pick up the Tango�s positioning data and passing it along via websockets" It Takes Goo to Tango, Goo Create 2015
    - proper web API https://twitter.com/judax/status/809075657120485376

Tried apps

evryscanner
- try unlit shaders in Aframe scene for more coherent rendering
RTAB map
- high poly but low merging quality result
Wally
- works well, notes public by default with their GPS coordinates
Tango Tiltbrush
- not intuitive to pick colors
- only 1 "brush"
- no saving
