One of the challenges with capturing defects is context. When you take a photo of something like a scratch, it’s usually a tight close-up (and hopefully not blurry) image. The problem comes later, when someone asks: where exactly on the unit was that?
That question led to a simple idea, what if you could also mark the location directly on a 3D model of the unit where the scratch occurred?
-
Get a hold of a 3D model
-
Convert to .glb (Blender is very cool)
-
Serve the file out through cloudfront
-
Display the .glb in a custom widget and capture the ‘Spatial Annotation’
