xCAD Live3D - Help
Download the position and scale reference sheet
Thus, the projection of the 3D objects is done automatically in the correct position and in the correct scale,
you must place a piece of paper containing a special pattern on the floor and capture it with the camera
of your mobile device.
This pattern is also called "Augmented Reality Target" or "AR Target".
Please download the PDF file and print it out on an A4 color printer.

- If you rotate the object with pinch/rotate touch gestures, it will rotate around it's local X axis
- If you rotate the object with pinch/rotate touch gestures, it will rotate around it's local Y axis
- If you rotate the object with pinch/rotate touch gestures, it will rotate around it's local Z axis
- You can turn on or off the camera light (flashlight - if available at your tablet or phone)
-
If the camera light is on, a virtual spotlight is renderd on the virtual object to simulate the camera light in the virutal scene.
You can set the intensity of this ligth in the app settings

- A snapshot is taken from the current scene and saved to your pictures folder. Use your photo gallery app to view the pictures
- Displays the quality of the AR tracking recognition
- Green: AR target from the position and scale reference sheet is recognized by the camera of your device
-
Yellow: AR target is gone out of sight of the camera - the software tries to calculate the object position by
image recognithio algorithms of the real background video from the device camera. This mode is less accurate then the
green mode
-
Red: The tracking has stopped. Try to focus the AR target on the scale reference sheet with your camera or double
tap on the touchscreen to reset the object to its default position
