AR Setup
Augmented Reality (AR) is an interactive experience between computer-generated perceptual information and real-world environment
To experience works that have AR integrated, follow these steps bellow:
1. Download provided app
– The works that are compatible with AR will have a hashtag “#AR” in the project descriptions
– To try out AR mode, you will need to download and install a specific *Android application on your device
– On the project descriptions, there will be a link to that AR application
– Access the link and download the app to your device
*at the moment, there is only supported AR application for Android
2. Install AR app on you device
– Before installing the application on your device, you need to tell it to allow you to install *unknown apps
– For Android Nougat, go to Settings > Security (or Lock Screen and Security) > Device Administration and enable Unknown Sources
– For Android Oreo, go to Settings > Apps and Notifications and select Install Unknown Apps (or Install Other Apps)
– Find the APK file from step 1 and tap it, then hit Install
*Android device considers any application outside of Google Play an “unknown app”
3. Try out the app with provided image target

– The AR app will access your device camera and act similar to the default camera application
– Pointing the camera to the right image target and the AR app will do the rest
– The compatible image targets have a certain identifying frame which looks like this:
– If the image get business, you can adjust the focal point by pressing on the main screen of the device
– Feel free to move around when trying the app, just make sure that the image isn’t completely out of view of the camera
