Augmented Reality 3D printed headset

Hi everyone today I want to talk about one of my biggest old project. It's about augmented reality 3D printed headset.

So I discovered virtual reality few years ago and I am always facinated by this technology, but when I saw that it could be possible to put 3D model on a reality background, I directly wanted to try to make a special headset. At the beginning of the project no AR headset was available. So I tried to build one by myself.

Step one : Find the information on internet

First of all I searched on internet for finding some blueprint for making my headset and I find out some hackers and makers which have the same idea as me. I was looking the work of them and it's inspired mine.

Finaly I found the "Polylens" project. it's was really interesting project and the creator was selling his blueprint for testing and editing. You can find it at this adresse : https://gumroad.com/l/oSQzQ

Thanks to Sabba Keynejad

Step Two : Editing Blueprint

I worked a lot around the base of the "Polylens" blueprint with Adobe Illustrator :

Step three : Started making the 3D model

Step four : 3D print !

After a really long time for 3D print the model I obtained this result. Then I added to the 3d model lens and transparent plastic foil on the front. https://steemitimages.com/DQmNrSRmHNS32go1XNwZfAZt224bvwbdPPMaSSCgpYUqWQC/20229159_10214320437469911_4044515495009239807_n.jpg https://steemitimages.com/DQmdVRqcKHFwG8jVYGvAp5yZdeVxbEuPQUq1NsgFZcJZesU/20228448_10214320437429910_6452595762209070695_n.jpg

Step five : Testing

So the last step I added my phone and thus made some tests (sorry it's pretty hard to take picture of it) https://steemitimages.com/DQmW1jfFJhP2iKCWR7vHaM7atuXScKZyUHCMdBCVTHro4A5/photo3_proto1_3Dprint.JPG https://steemitimages.com/DQmZiGTt9fv3sikByfe8hSUQVc6uE8bu6zms83mwZ2EfpNr/18839059_10213777750303071_6327528691019733746_n.jpg

Bonus images

I also made the variations of the project : https://steemitimages.com/DQmWjrF7MrG5dYPmns7xgQP3Q6Sy3ABpg45TZ4AMtyTfUFE/Proto2_3Drender1.jpg https://steemitimages.com/DQmNaWZq96b1gXV987ft9pXCmG19FV2yEZSrnyN6Z9KMUPU/Proto2_3Drender3.jpg https://steemitimages.com/DQmdoRAikCTi8AAnwiyfrSdSsffque5phcTZ7Hw4aZQLV2P/ProtoV1.gif https://steemitimages.com/DQmd2xSLBejLrxF8fGFHTtB7bnNdLFL4QAVcAi632UbDjhr/ProtoV2.2.gif

Sadly now you can buy this, type of Ar headset in China really cheap : https://steemitimages.com/DQmaTZZPWVgDM1ASb1LEk7hCYWMtSrmrRvaTBTb7LqqMLCc/29216906_10216441610257905_4026628695807492096_n.jpg
