Welcome!
Places AR is an experimental web app that aims to provide users with means to locate places
using Augmented Reality.
First we need to get some permissions to show you video feed and get your position.
Let's get started!
Video
First we need access to your camera. Without a camera feed, this cannot be a AR app.
Next
Location
We also need your permission to pinpoint your location. Otherwise we cannot tell where you are and
that makes our job impossible.
Next
Great!
We have all permissions we needed. Now you can start using the app.
Keep in mind it works best outside.
Finish
We might have a slight problem...
We have detected your browser cannot tell where the North is. But we can help!
We can use your location to approximate where north is. All you have to do is follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
Let's get started!
Calibration
Please walk with your phone directly in front of you. The direction of your walk shouldn't be important,
just walk in a straight line.
Then click on the "Start calibration" button.
Start calibration
Calibration progress
Keep walking straight until you are satisfied with the location update count (more = better), then click finish.
You're heading Waiting, based on 0 location updates.
The app will vibrate when it thinks that it is good enough.
