Sunday 30th July –

Today was a productive day, I experimented with a new augmented reality technique that I want to perfect.  It’s taking a while and both my sore back and  computer resources are becoming problematic again.  However, I managed to film 2 experimental videos.  This time the viewer could visually understand what it was I was trying to achieve.  I also managed to work some magic with ChatGPT and ed created some beautiful Processing programs together.  I acted as the visionary so to speak and ‘Chat’ sorted the technicals side of the programming.  I feel it’s start of a beautiful relationship.  Well maybe? Or maybe not, because the amount of code and patience needed just to create one viable program is actually astounding! I have managed to find a workable solution to this now, and the results are actually quite beautiful.

I am putting in all of this work now as the digital output from these programs will be used to finish augmenting my Barcelona Graffiti book.

What Did I Learn?

I learned an interesting technique that helps me better describe to ChatGPT what I want from a Processing program.  I discovered a much less computer resource intensive way to achieve my augmented reality aims.

What Did I Actually Achieve?

I managed to produce two proof of concept videos.
