Beste Tweakers,
Voor mijn zoons (en ws ook mijzelf 😁) ben ik een Augmented Reality zandbank aan het bouwen. Nu is helaas het grootste deel van het budget al op aan een Kinect for windows en een beamer. De pc die ik wilde gaan gebruiken is te oud en niet strekt genoeg op verschillende vlakken.
Zouden jullie mij van advies willen voorzien om een pc samen te stellen die in iedergeval voldoet aan de onderstaande specs? Zoals ik al noemde, krap budget, weet niet of het mogelijk is voor €100-200? Zelf weet ik te weinig van pc componenten om te kunnen kiezen waar het net wat minder/goedkoper kan en toch met een pc uitkom die kan doen wat ik zoek voor het project ARsandox.
Alvast dank voor jullie suggesties
Mvg
Olaf

Computer
The ideal computer for an AR Sandbox is a dedicated PC running a version of Linux, with a consumer-level, e.g., Nvidia GeForce, graphics chip. The PC should have a good CPU, but does not need large RAM (2GB is sufficient to run the AR Sandbox software) or a large hard drive (20GB is sufficient to install Linux and the AR Sandbox software). While the AR Sandbox software runs under Mac OS X, we strongly recommend Linux because Linux-based installations are more stable.
We recommend a recent Intel/AMD CPU running at at least 3GHz, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970, 1060 or 1070 graphics card (any brand with Nvidia chip is fine), and the current release of the 64-bit version of Linux Mint with Mate desktop. The AR Sandbox requires that the vendor-supplied binary drivers for the graphics card be installed. We advise against using AMD/ATI (Radeon) graphics cards, as their Linux driver can cause issues with the AR Sandbox’s water simulation.
The AR Sandbox has two main components: the topographic map renderer, and the water flow simulation. The former is comparatively easy on CPU and graphics card, and works on most current laptops or mid-range PCs. The water simulation, on the other hand, requires a high-end graphics card like the recommended GeForce GTX 970 or higher. While the water simulation can be disabled to allow running the AR Sandbox from a lower-end computer, we do not recommend doing so.
The benefit of a dedicated PC is that the AR Sandbox becomes a computational appliance. Since the AR Sandbox software does not require a live Internet connection, it is possible to install the OS and AR Sandbox software, and then disconnect the computer from the Internet and never update the operating system or AR Sandbox sofware. The AR Sandbox software can be set up to start automatically when the computer boots, in which case it does not even require a monitor, mouse, or keyboard. Should newer versions of the AR Sandbox software become available, they can be uploaded via removable media.
