description
We are pleased to announce the latest release of Augmented Carpentry ( v1.0.0
), which introduces new features and improvements, as well as addresses several issues, and add a brand new documentation website. The software has been tested and adjusted after a 1:1 fabrication of timber structures from 06.2024 to 09.2024. This is a working prototype that illustrates how augmented carpentry can be used in manual woodworking to assist users in fabricating digital designs. Below is a summary of the key updates.
new features
- a basic first basis of an online documentation including fundamental information to understand the software and how to reproduce
- polished and documented C++ code base
- new entry for the tool head and mount dataset, here
- new circular saws have been integrated
- a new viewport for visualization of the 3D scene
- paper explaining the ACEngine for XR developed for Augmented Carpentry is added to the repo and submitted to JOSS
fixes
- numerous fixes for comfort of the UI have been added #50 #87
- a new stabilizer for the AR object locking is up #101
- cotas can be displayed on joints now #82
- crashes during the reading of
.acit
models have been fixed - a new module for ingesting and displaying real-time sensor data (e.g., position and angle) during fabrication for multiple feedback typologies
- fixed issues where certain tool shapes were not correctly identified, preventing accurate instructions for cut paths.
Important
The section for the use of augmented carpentry from the user perspective is under construction and will be out soon.
