Hi,  
Does 8th Wall have an ability to recognize a specific public sculpture and create an augmentation that is closely locked to the surface of that object? For example, augmenting a real world sculpture with 3D objects appearing on its surface?

Someone previously mentioned Lightship VPS to me, but what if the location isn’t one of the current public locations on the VPS database?

Thanks for the guidance,

Cheers  
J

Hello @Josef_Heks you can certainly create your own wayspot if the one you want isn’t in the geospatial browser. Please reference the doocumentation here:

Thanks for the tips Ian.

What insights can you give into the use case of my specific example (a public statue being augmented with 3d geometry), as to how well the recognition, tracking and locking of augment 3D geo would be to the object?

Do you have any case studies available which can demonstrate the kind of quality to expect?

Feel free to PM me privately if required,

Thanks
