Peak AR View

By 'View in AR' button you will enter the AR screen.

The camera is started and you have to move a bit your iPhone/iPad to let it capture your environment and find a suitable plane to place the AR model on it.

You will be guided by a simple animation, so please continue to move your iPhone or iPad left and right until you see the peak model.

Please keep in mind that too dark environment is not suitable for AR.

Navigate in AR

The AR peak behaves like a real object placed in front of you. It could be on a table, ground, or any other textured object that has some flat horizontal surface.

The navigation in space is quite natural - you watch it through your device camera and you can move around it, closer and farther.

Also you can move and rotate the peak touching it on your device display. One finger drag moves the peak model. With two-fingers you rotate it.

See AR Markers

The AR peak model has a painted texture which resembles its natural look. Unlike the geographic maps, here you don't see any artificial labels stampped on the terrain. Instead you can toggle 3D AR markers to see geographic details as the peaks names.

The markers toggle button is near the compass in the AR scene.

Model Scale

The peak model has a precise scale, which is displayed on the East and West sides of the model block. It tells the size of the peak model compared to the size of the same area on Earth. For example 1:50000 means that each centimeter of the model resembles 50000 centimeters (500 m) on Earth. All the models are 40cm by 40cm blocks in AR.

Compass

There is a small compass in the scene, which always points the North direction of the model. No matter how you move arround and rotate the peak model, the compass follows the peak orientation to display where is the model North.
