You can insert AR content playback functionality into each step of an SOP. For the supported AR alignment technologies, please see Here. When "Use AR" is configured, a "View in AR" button is added during playback. When you tap the button, the view switches to AR mode, and users can check the work content with AR information.

Getting Started

• Scan data used for alignment can only be created with the mobile app. AR content (objects) can be placed using the mobile app's "Edit AR" as well as with "3D Edit" (beta version) available in PC and smartphone browsers.
• You can use "View in AR" to overlay AR content on physical objects with the mobile app and AR glasses. On devices that do not support AR, you can check the same AR content on a 3D screen from "View in 3D".

• You can configure this on any type of step: video steps, image steps, or PDF steps.

• On PC (browser), you can also use "3D Edit" to place AR content in 3D space without holding up your phone (beta version). For details, please see 3D Edit (Place AR content in 3D space).

Configuration Flow

1. Turn on "Use AR"
2. Create scan data
3. Edit AR

The explanation below is based on the mobile app screen.

Turn on "Use AR"

1. Tap the step where you want to use AR

   

2. Tap "Use AR"

   

3. It is now enabled. At this point, since there is no AR Object definition, the "Use AR" button will not be displayed during playback.

   

Create Scan Data

1. Tap "Configure" under "Alignment"

   

2. Tap "Add new"

   

3. AR mode is activated. On first use, a camera permission dialog will appear. Please allow camera access.

   

   
   

4. From this point forward, follow the on-screen message at the bottom to scan.
   

   

5. When successful, AR mode will exit and the created scan data will be displayed as a material. Tap "Decide" to select it.

   

6. You can confirm that the scan data configured under "Alignment" has been set. The created scan data can be reused in other steps and other SOPs.

   

Edit AR

1. Tap "Edit AR"

   

2. AR mode is activated and alignment begins. Follow the instructions and point your camera at the location of the scan data.

   

3. When recognition is successful, edit mode is activated.

   

4. We will explain with an example of operating an arrow object. Tap the "Arrow" button.

   

5. An arrow object is displayed. As-is, if you move the arrow object on the AR screen, it will move three-dimensionally based on surfaces in the real world.
   * You can also Rotate and Scale by switching tabs.

   

6. If you tap an area without an object, the screen will change to one where you can add new objects. When you are done editing, tap "Save" and then "Save and close"

   

7. Looking at the AR Objects section, you can confirm that the count has changed and has been saved.

   

Notes

• If there is no alignment configuration, the mode will perform plane detection.
• Each step can have different alignment information. When transitioning between steps with different alignment information, alignment will begin each time. If the alignment information is the same, alignment will not be performed again.

Tips for Minimizing Misalignment

• Position the object placement at the location that is the target of the scan.
• If placing objects at different locations within one SOP, we recommend preparing separate scan data for each step.
• Due to the nature of the technology, some misalignment is inevitable. Therefore, we recommend avoiding its use for mission-critical applications. (Keep AR to user movement and line-of-sight changes; express the actual work content with video steps, etc.)
