FAQ
- What exactly is augmented reality?
Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive 3D experience that combines a view of the real world with computer-generated elements. AR is different from Virtual Reality (VR) in that VR is a completely self-contained computer environment, while AR layers computer elements alongside real objects in real time.
- How can I install the app?
Go to the App Store or the Google Play Store and search for ‘Cantel AR’. You can download the app free of charge.
- Does the app also work on a tablet?
Yes, the app works on tablets and smartphones.
- Does my phone support augmented reality?
Newer devices will have AR software already integrated into the phone. Make sure you are running iOS 11.0 on your iPhone or have the ARCore app installed from the Google Play Store. Requirements for ARCore for Android: Android 7.0 or later (some devices will need at least Android 8.0 in order for ARCore to work).
- How can I rotate one of the AR objects?
When you have the object in front of you, you can tap the object once to lift it. You will see a blue line appear under the object. With two fingers on the screen of your phone, you can rotate the object. To continue, tap the object once again to lower it.
- How can I move the object?
When you have the object in front of you, you can tap the object once to lift it. You will see a blue line appear under the object. You can then move the object using one finger on the screen to move backwards or to the side. To continue, tap the object once again to lower it.
- How can I zoom in on the object?
Move your mobile device towards the object to zoom in.
- How can I see one of the AR objects?
Select one of the machines and you will see the text: “Move your phone around to find a location to place the object”. Adjust your phone so that it is aimed at a flat surface until you see grey dots appear. Tap the dots to place the object.
- How can I view a reprocessing cycle?
First you have to place a "RapidAER" in your room. Then you press the "Play" button in the bottom of your screen. The washing chamber of the RapidAER closes and the cycle starts. You walk towards the machine with your device in front of you until you're almost standing in the machine. Move your device in or on top of the washing chamber to take a look inside. Move as close as you can to see more details.
- I can’t see the dots to place the object – what should I do?
Move your phone so it is aimed at a different type of surface and try again. A surface with some structure tends to be more suitable.
