An AR App By The Mill

The Mill shared a look at Mill Scout, an AR app for smartphones and tablets that can allow creatives to visualize CGI characters and objects live on-set, in-situ through the Director’s lens.

"Traditionally, creative teams are unable to visualize CGI objects until after the shoot during the post-production process, however, using Mill Scout enables immediate visualization of any object during filming that has been preloaded onto the app," wrote the team. "By placing CGI objects into real-world environments using Mill Scout, creative teams are now able to tailor shots to VFX specifics, offering up heightened creative flexibility and nuance during the on-set direction process."

The team said that the app has been used by Directors and Visual Effects Supervisors for brands such as Lexus, Honda, and PlayStation. It runs standalone on iOS for iPhone and iPad with no dependencies on hardware. Mill Scout was created using Unity and Apple’s AR kit.
