What a jammed packed workshop, from 3D scanning though Photogrammetry to turning it into Augmented Reality. Big thanks to everyone who came to the workshop, Dogpatch Labs for hosting, and to Pete, Sam & Alex as our mentors.

Pete starts off introducing what photogrammetry is about followed by practical introduction after the tea/coffee break.

All set up & ready for our #AR #Animation workshop with @CodingGrace @petesonearth @MuscroftSam #ARtoolkit & #Unity pic.twitter.com/ou9jTGKTtj

There was a lot to go through, but the workshop went without a hitch (aside from Pete's laptop restarting, in fairness it's 8 years old), and people were playing around with AR toolkit and asking lots of questions.

At yesterday's awesome @CodingGrace workshop at @dogpatchlabs I took a #punk3Dscan of the vault walls, @marmosetco pic.twitter.com/3M2BbdPD13
