To view a 3D model in Augmented Reality (AR), follow these steps:
1. Tap on the Menu button: Look for the menu icon in the app or program you are using to access the AR feature. This button is usually represented by three horizontal lines or a hamburger icon.
2. Set up your AR session: Once you have accessed the menu, navigate to the AR section or settings. Here, you may have options to customize your AR experience, such as adjusting lighting or selecting different backgrounds. Take the time to configure these settings according to your preferences.
3. Choose the elements to include in AR: In the Options section of the AR settings, you might have the choice to include additional objects like furniture or terrain in your AR session. Select the desired options based on your requirements. This step is optional, as you may only want to view the 3D model itself without any additional elements.
4. Tap on “View in AR”: After configuring your AR session, go back to the main screen or model selection screen. Locate the specific 3D model you want to view in AR and tap on the “View in AR” button. This button could be represented by icons like a camera or glasses.
5. Point your camera at a horizontal surface: Once you tap on “View in AR,” the app will activate your device’s camera. Aim your camera at a flat and horizontal surface, such as a table or floor. This step allows the app to detect the surface and anchor the 3D model in the AR environment.
6. Tap on the plus button: Once the app detects a suitable surface, a plus button or similar icon will appear on the screen. Tap on this button to place the 3D model on the surface. The app will use augmented reality technology to overlay the 3D model onto the real-world environment through your device’s camera.
7. Explore and interact with the 3D model in AR: After placing the 3D model, you can now freely move around and view it from different angles. Walk around the model, zoom in or out, and rotate it using gestures on your device’s screen. Some apps may also provide additional features like animation or scaling options, allowing you to further interact with the 3D model in AR.
Remember to have sufficient lighting in the environment to ensure optimal tracking and visualization of the 3D model. Additionally, make sure your device meets the necessary hardware requirements for AR functionality, such as having a compatible camera and motion sensors.
These steps may vary slightly depending on the specific AR app or program you are using, but the general process remains similar. Enjoy exploring your 3D models in augmented reality!
