Hi @mkarimi Thank you for the options to scan rooms and objects directly in iRhino! These are really great tools which connects Rhino to our environments. Also the face scan in is amazing. Now I wish to have 3D Pose Detection in iRhino. This would be really cool for ergonomic design tasks and many…

[image] Jess: Now I wish to have 3D Pose Detection in iRhino. I had looked into it before but didn’t prioritize it since no one had asked about it. I logged a feature request and hope to get to it at some point RV-1403 Pose detection in iRhino

I’m working on a hops component to generate solid humanoids in “real time”. It would help if you could model the pose estimation including the transformations (for example as joints & bones in blocks) - then we should get the rotations… Cheers, Jess

In the past people have rigged up the Kinect controller and Leap Motion controls to Rhino and Grasshopper to work as a design controller. This was done mostly thru FireFly Of course there is always Gravity Sketch also: https://gravitysketch.com/

[image] mkarimi: RV-1403 Pose detection in iRhino @Jess I won’t be able to implement this anytime soon, it’s probably worth taking a look at alternatives Scott and Martin posted.

I’ve used Firefly with a Kinect many years ago but don’t have the device anymore. How would Gravity Sketch be useful to track / detect a body pose?

Thanks for the links. I know these other libraries. The point is to use the LiDAR sensor with the iPad which will give even better 3D results. That in combination with iRhino has the potential to define a standard for solid humanoids in usd format.

[image] Jess: Thank you for the fast implementation of the 3D Pose Detection! It works pretty good and I can already work with it :slightly_smiling_face: You beat me to it, I haven’t even announced it. Glad it works for you, it’s pretty basic now but we can improve it.

@mkarimi Yes, it is basic but that’s fine for now and I can adopt Apple’s computer vision point in my template. Hand gestures are not detected but the points help me to get the wrist rotations. Implementation of planeDetection and orientation may be the next step in iRhino’s AR mode? I can see a …
