Shadertoy: iChannel texture - 006.

Another simple example with the online shadertoy tool. In this example, I will show you how to use a webcam with a heat predator effect. And how to combine this effect with the webcam image.

vec3 predatorHeat(float v) {
float value = 1.0 - v;
return (0.5+0.5*smoothstep(0.0, 0.1, value))*vec3(
smoothstep(0.5, 0.3, value),
value < 0.3 ? smoothstep(0.0, 0.3, value) : smoothstep(1.0, 0.6, value),
smoothstep(0.4, 0.6, value)
);
}

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
// Normalized pixel coordinates (from 0 to 1)
vec2 uv = fragCoord/iResolution.xy;

vec4 temp = texture(iChannel0, uv);
vec4 temp2 = texture(iChannel1,uv);

float average = ((temp.r + temp.g + temp.b) / 2.5);

temp.rgb = vec3(predatorHeat(average));

if(uv.x > 0.5)
fragColor = temp;
else
fragColor = temp2;
}

CodePen: Webcam with RGB color shader and the three.js javascript library.

Three.js is a cross-browser JavaScript library and application programming interface used to create and display animated 3D computer graphics in a web browser using WebGL.

This library is not really used in website development. It has some great real-time information display capabilities.

Today I show you a combined example of a webcam with a simple shader set with an RGBA color.

AR Tagging with ViewAR

See how you can use augmented reality tagging by ViewAR to bring your store online and provide a virtual tour within 24 hours.

A Matterport Scanner, a tripod, and a smartphone, is all you need to create an online version of your physical store and have all the benefits that come with it. All that in less than one day.

AR Tagging uses optical character recognition (OCR) looking for text, barcodes or QR codes. AR Tagging will automatically find the desired characters from the label using defined filters, create a point of interest and save its position to your scan.

ViewAR also provides a better customer experience for your visitors on site. Help your customers find the right product or present special offerings directly on their smartphone.

If your customers want to see a product, they can simply be guided there with our augmented reality indoor navigation app.

News : Nvidia in the field of health.

The simulations revealed and helped solve various problems. Image processing is very complex for the human brain, which is why dedicated applications are used. An example in the field of health and graphic processing.

They show us and explain the implications in using these technical possibilities:

AstraZeneca is powering modern #machinelearning (ML) and AI to accelerate drug discovery with Cambridge-1, training models to learn the grammar of chemistry, and processing whole slide digital pathology images.
