My mind is absolutely blown. This was a really great demonstration!

[@0tink9]

super cool. Definitely going to use some of this functionality in coming up home decor planning!

[@DurandsDesigns]

Very nice. I will have to try this out.

[@monojit104]

Can I have the source code of your demo?

[@tehpsalmist]

Have you tried using those AR features to put your parts in motion/flexing? For example, virtually anchoring the e-brake to a point in space and making it actually work if you grab and pull it. Btw, high quality content man! I don't even 3d print but I get excited when a new video comes out!

I did a quick demo of animating motion of my hand brake model on my iPhone using ARKit. I’m not sure exactly how to make the model interactive with part collisions and stuff, but I was able to tap the model and have it animate motion. I want to dig into Swifts ARKit dev some more to play with this stuff. We will see if I get any free time lol

Need a video of how you put that on quest, and the file you used. Like obj stl thanks

[@PrintPractical]

I can make a video on how to load CAD files onto the quest. I’ll see when I can fit it in.
