Augmented Reality

[terbeest]

The topic of augmented reality can be a massive undertaking when considering the full breadth of merging virtual objects with real-world environments in real-time. 

While a full-featured augmented reality built into Fusion 360 would be surreal, I am suggesting a small subset of that capability. I've found myself taking photos of a physical environment for a soon-to-be integrated CNC machined object. I think it would be wonderful to create a 3D object and then showcase the object live with clients in the IoS or Android Fusion 360 app with the background being a live camera. I would love to be able to resize the object and rotate with the changing of the live video.

I'm not sure how practical AR / VR would be for designing, but a decent implementation might be enough to get me to buy a HoloLens or VR headset

An excellent idea. The future of CAD is augmented reality http://www.engineering.com/DesignSoftware/DesignSoftwareArticles/ArticleID/11873/What-Is-Augmented-R...

Hey there.  DottyAR the app is now supporting fusion360 files in Augmented Reality and it looks pretty awesome. It also has InstantAR links like this V8 engine you can try:
