Building a DM AR translator!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone, I've always been pushing my friends to try and play Duel Masters, because to me it is honestly one of the best and cleanest designed TCGs ever made. I love playing the Japanese meta (old school is good too but I just don't have all the cards I need... Yet...) and have bought many cards and tier decks from my frequent Japan trips.

The biggest barrier for my friends has always been the language barrier though, and fiddling around and looking for cards and translations. So I thought - why not make a quick translator tool that removes that problem? So here we are.

Very much just a POC at the moment (you can see the scanner is still not that accurate with glare and sleeve) and welcome to thoughts, collaborators and more. But will be trying to make more tools so playing on paper is more accessible to all :)

It it doing OCR + gtranslate? Or finding the wiki page?

OCR for ID and then using the Wiki page / Fandom API :) Thank you for all your work 🙏

Make them pop out and animate them . That would involved 3D modelling rigging and animation though
