BallArs

BallARs is an augmented reality application that allows users to practice their basketball shooting skills by having the opportunity to shoot a virtual basketball into a virtual hoop and gain feedback from in-game physics and pose estimation. What makes our app unique is we will have a retargeted model to showcase how the user shot and compare their shot to an NBA player.

Devices used for this project are Magic Leap 1

Server Installation (Windows only)

On the server:

1. Clone the repo
2. Modify the constants in constants.py to point to the right directories (must be absolute) and have the parameters (e.g. FPS) that you want. Don't worry about VIBE_DIR, TK_DIR since we do not have retargeting in this repo since much of that code is not public yet.
3. Do pip install -r requirements-server.txt
4. Make sure ffmpeg is added to PATH (check by typing ffmpeg in the command prompt)
5. Restart anaconda
6. Run python server-flask.py on your web server from inside the client-webserver directory (or it will not work).

It shouldn't be too much work to get this working on Linux. The server we used had Windows 10 preinstalled so we just used that.

Client Installation

On the client:

1. Clone the repo
2. Run pip install -r requirements-webcam.txt
3. Ensure that constants.py is consistent with the server.
4. Run webcam.py

Magic Leap
