RE: Ask Me Anything - Marky Edition - December 2021
I’m trying to build a platform to mint scaled PDFs (patterns or designs eg: sewing patterns, architectural layouts ) as NFTs. Patterns developed with a CAD tool I built(or any other CAD). I want to offer designers the opportunity to sell or “hire” out their patterns. The idea would include a PDF version of the pattern (presumably with an image (video) driven tutorial and an AR option (for sewing patterns at least) so that the asset is “virtual” only and “shone” on to the fabric to be cut via a mobile device (no downloading PDFs, printing them out and (usually, depending on the printer) having to stick them together with tape. It’s difficult to visualize if you’ve never used a PDF pattern from the web. Oh dear I’m explaining this badly. Here’s a sample of the AR experience (early stages, but...) you’d need a HIRO hardcopy to view the AR . https://itsostylish.com/patternAR.html
question : Anyway, in your opinion does the idea have any merit + any resources you can recommend
I am not too familiar with the sewing patterns community, but I did have something similar in mind with 3D printing models.
I'm afraid I can't offer much feedback on this as it is out of my element. I suspect thought there will be a learning curve for your audience.

I would love for you to build this! Taping pdf patterns together is such a pain that I prefer to work from a scaled graph and draw onto pattern grid paper. Not sure how expensive a projector is, but that sounds brilliant.
You wouldn’t need a projector. Patterns for projectors are actually fairly common already. What I’m trying to do is make an AR experience for sewers (or other creators) that only requires a mobile device - Smartphone or Tablet. Then you would simply need to point your device at a marker and the pattern will project onto the fabric for you to cut. LoL, sounds like magic, but it’s totally possible right now. I’m struggling with the aspect ratio at present, but I’ll get there. 😆
