Using AR SOPs
What happens when you select "View in AR" for a step with AR set up depends on the alignment information and the device.
■For Xreal Air 2 Ultra, XREAL One / One Pro, and MiRZA
[For standard scan data]
-
Manual alignment mode starts, so please align the content with the real world.
[Note]
On MiRZA, SLAM stability is limited, so it can be difficult to fix AR content exactly in place in the real world. For this reason, use this feature only for approximate alignment. If you need precise alignment with the real world, use a SOP that uses Immersal alignment. When you use Immersal, you do not need to register the positional relationship with the AR marker described below. - On Xreal Air 2 Ultra and MiRZA, you can register the positional relationship between the alignment result and the AR marker to make later adjustments easier. If you want to, follow the instructions that appear when the steps above are finished.
XREAL One / One Pro does not support image recognition (Image Tracking), so AR markers cannot be registered or used (the same applies when XREAL Eye is attached). Use manual alignment every time. -
(Xreal Air 2 Ultra and MiRZA only) Print the AR marker from the link below, place the printout where you want it, and then register it as described above.
https://www.divedx.com/hubfs/OperationManual/Dive_ARMarker_250722_r0.pdf
*Notes when printing
- Print on A4 paper (the AR marker must measure 10 cm × 10 cm)
- Print at 100% with no scaling.
- Turn off the "Fit to page" setting.
- Black-and-white printing is fine.
[For Immersal scan data]
Supported on XREAL One / One Pro with XREAL Eye attached, and on MiRZA.
Alignment runs automatically. Check the adjustment result. If you select Confirm, the alignment is locked at that point. On MiRZA, alignment is re-run every 1 second.
■For dynaEdge XR1
Alignment is not performed. The content is displayed in front of you.
