AR Navigator: dev log

Notes on an augmented reality wayfinding prototype that overlaid turn-by-turn directions on the live camera view.

AR Navigator was a wayfinding prototype: hold up your phone, see the route drawn onto the world in front of you instead of on an abstract map.

The original demo was hosted on a .ml domain. Freenom stopped issuing and resolving those, so the link that used to live here is dead and I’ve removed it rather than leave it rotting.

The lesson I actually took away had nothing to do with AR. It was that a free domain from a registrar with no business model is a link you’re going to lose. Four years later the code is fine and the URL is gone — which is part of why this site now sits on infrastructure I control.
