📸 Augmented Reality Viewer(s)
Simple AR Preview
The simple AR preview presents the augmented reality experience through the simplest user interface possible for your spectators. The simple AR preview only requires 3 steps to activate the AR scene:
Scan the QR code or click the link for the AR experience with a mobile device
Accept illust's Terms of Service
Accept Camera and Motion permissions
Unless configured otherwise in the studio, the AR scene will now populate with the experience associated with the URL/Slug created in the studio. With the simple AR preview, guests to your experience can see the "Title" of the work and can take a picture using the photo capture button.
Spatial AR Preview
The spatial AR preview provides visitors with your configured studio experience in relation to where it exists on the global map. This experience is tapping into the end visitors location to determine if they are within the required geofence to activate the experience. This AR viewer is only 3 steps as well but introduces a new user interface for the experience:
Scan the QR code or click the link for the AR experience with a mobile device
Accept illust's Terms of Service
Accept Camera, Motion, and Location permissions
Map Navigation
The map is a core feature of the spatial AR preview. If you're in the spatial AR preview but you haven't activated an AR experience, you will notice a compass directing you to the location. Depending on how large the radius geofence is will determine at what point the experience will activate. (For example, you may have an experience activate even though it says you are 300 ft from the location. The distance is indicating how far you are away from the GPS center of the geofence. Therefore, if the geofence is set to be wide, you may activate the experience without being at the GPS origin point.
To start exploring, simply tap the globe icon in the bottom left corner of the app to find your next experience. illust. will be expanding on this feature to provide more opporunities to connect with artists, claim works, and purchase items on location. Be on the look out as we extend what's possible with AR Creator Studio.
