ugmented reality and computer vision technology have been making huge strides during the past few years and one of the excellent examples is Google Lens’s capability to copy-paste real-world text into an app. Now, a developer at Google Arts and Culture, Cyril Diagne, has showcased a new [nofollow]AR Copy Paste App tool that lets users copy and paste real-world objects and place them in their computer.
The impressive feature demonstrates that AR is the go to technology for to copy and paste visuals from the real world into digital documents quickly. Simply point your smartphone at the object you want to copy, and then you can drag that object over to your desktop, saving a significant amount of time emailing photos and editing out the backgrounds. The AR cut and paste tool is bound to make the job of a designer more efficient.
The creator shared a video on Twitter, demonstrating how he used AR to copy and paste visuals from the real world into digital documents. The new function reverses what we know about AR and brings the physical objects into the digital world rather than projecting digital visuals into the real world.
Explaining on Twitter, Diagne stated that the AR copy and paste demo has some moving parts, the first being that the AR tool separates the object from its background using machine learning. Another component detects where you are pointing your smartphone on the screen of your computer and according to Diagne, the tool takes about 2.5 seconds to copy the desired object and approximately 4 seconds to paste it onto the screen, taking around 6.5 seconds in total for the whole process to complete.
Diagne stated that he believed that the process could be sped up with the help of other professional developers. And so, has put the code for this AR tool up on GitHub for developers to check out. He says that any developer who feels like they can improve the tool themselves can use the code, and he wants contributors to help refine his AR tool.
