Introduction

This page is an example of an AR curation and gives a short introduction on ARchi VR.

View an AR Curation

An AR curation is a coherent set of Web pages and AR sessions which can be followed by tapping the corresponding links. Curated AR content can be started via universal links provided by registered organisations. Tap the top-right + button on the previous view to find and download new AR curations.

Here are two examples of starting an AR session from within a Web page:

Capture and Augment a Room

On the main screen do touch the top-right ＋ button to start capturing a room. Then point camera to a decent textured area on the ground floor. After the floor is recognised hit floor-wall corners and follow the wall edges till to the start corner. Follow the guidance to capture windows, doors and interior elements.
