Use the Visuality Android app: PIN code, direct link and augmented reality
In short
Alongside the web viewer, the Visuality Android app opens an object or a group with its PIN code or its direct link. It lets you place several objects in the same scene, works offline and stays smoother with large 3D objects. It is not available on iPhone.
Prerequisites
- A smartphone or tablet running Android 8.0 or later.
- An object or a group of objects created in a Visuality account with an active license.
- An Internet connection the first time each object or group is opened.
Steps: open an object in the app
- Install the Visuality app from Google Play (link above, or the download QR code on the sharing page).
- In the 3D Object Library, open the object's menu and click View / Share. For a group, click Share on the Group of objects page.
- In the Applicative Viewer (Android) section, note the PIN code or copy the direct link; the Download the QR code button provides a QR code for this link.
- On the Android device, launch the app and enter the PIN code, or open the direct link (or scan its QR code).
- The object or group opens in the app: place it in the room in augmented reality.
Good to know and limitations
- Each object and each group has its own PIN code, generated automatically by Visuality.
- Offline, the app opens the objects and groups viewed within the last 30 days.
- With a group, several objects can be placed simultaneously in the same scene, which the web viewer does not allow.
- The Prevent the user from rotating the object (Android only) option in the object's settings applies in the app.
- The app is designed for your teams (sales reps, trade shows); for your customers, the web viewer avoids any installation.
- If the account's license is no longer active, the access links are disabled.
