Running the App in AR mode
This mode is very useful for positioning things in augmented reality and is most suited to placeable singular objects (chairs, tables, statues, etc). The main difference with this mode is that it uses your cameras Lidar to correctly position things with the phone/tablets camera providing the background.
Once started, “scan” the room until grids appear. This signifies placeable areas your camera has recognized as “floor planes”.
Tap anywhere in a grid you wish place the AR asset.
The asset will appear.
Positioning your asset can be done via the following methods.
Tap will re-place the item in a new location.
Drag Left/Right to rotate the asset.
Pinch to Scale the asset up or down.
Running the App in Walkthrough Mode
Walkthrough mode offers some basic navigational and Scale controls to allow movement in addition to XR input. This mode is generally better for walk-through scenarios where the environment is large.
