In my last post Be a Bit Pirate AR<\/a> I spoke about working on a small app using platonic solids and I have continued to develop that alongside other things since then. I made models of the solids to act as targets for the app and also used photographs to develop the apps using vuforia<\/a> .<\/span><\/p>\n

The models have been scanned using Polycam and can be viewed using this link<\/a>

When I reached this stage I realised the project needed something else to make it hang together so I found my dialogues and took the appropriate quotations from Timaeus<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and made this version of the app.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m in the process of setting up a Google Play developer account so that it can be easily downloaded when it’s complete.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I made a model of Durer’s solid when I was building the other models,
