Calibration is required to accurately align the digital models with the real-world environment. This alignment is essential for providing an immersive and accurate augmented reality experience that aids in project planning, visualization, and communication among team members.
After loading the AR View the user is prompted to:
Scan the environment until required tracking confidence is achieved
Select calibration method: Image Target or Manual
Image Targets
Users can print and place the universal image target as configured within the project site. TobeMaps then uses these targets to localize and align the virtual reference frame with the real world.
Select "Image Targets"
Scan target until 100% tracking confidence is reached (you can continue with less than 100%)
Press Next (Right Arrow Button)
Select the image target from the map view (move the map as required)
Press next to complete calibration
Manual Calibration
In scenarios where the image targets are not available or not practical, manual calibration allows users to align the virtual reference frame using their device's GPS position. Users can refine the alignment by specifying their position, orientation, and elevation within the app.
Select Manual Calibration
1) Set position on the map or position relative to a model (GPS location can be used by pressing GPS button) Single finger drag to move the map/models relative to your position.
2) Set Rotation splits the screen into 2 views and prompts the user to align the map or model in the map view with a physical feature in the AR View. The user can pinch to zoom the map view and single finger drag anywhere to modify the model/map rotation.
3) Set Elevation splits the screen in to 2 views. The AR View shows the models that turned on and Map view shows your current elevation relative to the models that are turned on. Single finger drag in the AR view to modify the elevation/height of the models relative your position. You can manipulate the map view as described in Map View.
