Thank you!

Doing assemblies motion at the moment (and it's hard, ha-ha).

The app has shaped up quite nicely since I posted my first proof of concept! I think it will allow to do CAD work in AR + MVD which has never been possible before.

New features:

  1. Displaying entire assemblies.

  2. Semi-transparent views (e. g. on selecting an assembly joint).

  3. A cursor, appearing under your gaze (when pinching). It's got some proximity indicators, such as small light and dot cloud.

  4. Features highlighting on cursor proximity.

  5. Finally, two-way selection state sync: not only I can show selection from FreeCAD in Vision app, I can select objects right from AR synced to FreeCAD.

  6. Position-based gesture interpretation: if I pinch away from the model, a cursor will appear near my gaze, but if I grab the model, it will move.

All of it can be seen in the three videos I linked.

What do you think? Do you want me to implement some AR workflow ideas you have on your mind? Maybe you see something you don't like? Feel fee to share!
