- With SketchAR, learn to draw with augmented reality
- An application that will offer major interest with AR glasses
Learning to draw is often long and tedious. It takes a lot of time and practice to go from scribbling to very realistic drawing. A step that many people would happily skip to be able to make portraits or presentable landscapes. SketchAR, an augmented reality application for smartphones now allows you to draw very easily and quickly without tedious learning.
With SketchAR, learn to draw with augmented reality
SketchAR is an augmented reality application for smartphones. The app allows you to easily reproduce a drawing using your phone. SketchAR reproduces in superimposition on your white sheet the drawing which you wish to reproduce. Once the drawing has been chosen, all you have to do is fix it on your white sheet and all you have to do is follow the curves of the sketch to reproduce the chosen model. Easy learning that will delight both children and adults wishing to know how to draw.
Depending on the distance at which you place your phone, you can either have an overall view of the drawing or still see the smallest details of the illustration. An ideal tool for those who do not know how to draw but dream of easily reproducing drawings. And since a good drawing is better than a long speech, you can check out the functionality of SketchAR in the video below:
An application that will offer major interest with AR glasses
Although extremely practical and original, the application which saves hours of learning currently suffers from a major flaw. It is, in fact, not easy to draw, the pencil in one hand, while supporting your smartphone with the other. This technology will take on its full potential with the use of augmented reality glasses like Microsoft's Hololens.
The application will soon be available on these media but will also be available on Google Play in the coming weeks for phones equipped with Tango or on the Apple App Store. Although few details have been provided, it seems that the iPhone 6 will be compatible with SketchAR. Once familiar with drawing, it will then be easy to switch to other media such as the fabulous Tilt Brush which allows you to draw in 3D thanks to virtual reality.
