Modes

Currently ARitize supports three different AR Modes – each provides a different way for the app to track the world and place virtual objects within it.

---

SLAM

SLAM is short for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping and it essentially detects surfaces in the real world as you move the camera around. In this mode, the user scans for surfaces and then manually places the experience.

Parameters
(None)

Image Tracking

This lets you specify a 2D image, such as a poster or business card, to use as a tracker that will anchor your experience automatically. While any image can be used, some images will be more suitable for tracking. For a general overview of what makes a good image target, you can read this article.

Parameters

Image Target Slug

In ARM, you specify a slug to identify an image target asset. Match that here.

Object Tracking

This is similar to Image Tracking, but instead of a 2D image, you specify a physical 3D object to act as the anchor. Your experience will automatically anchor to the tracked object. Again, some objects will be more suitable for tracking than others.

Parameters

Two File

The WTO file generated. This contains your point cloud information.

Object Target (Target Syntax)

Object that will be anchored to the physical object being tracked.

Hide On Tracking Lost

Whether or not the Object Target should be hidden when tracking is lost, or stay on screen in the last tracked position.
