WCTC 2.1.1: 2D Content Preparation
In the context of preparing content for AR instructions using WorkLink Create, there are two main categories of content: 2D and 3D.
2D Content Preparation:
-
Types of 2D Content:
- This includes images or videos, serving as instructional diagrams, detailed photos, warning symbols, logos, or complex task demonstrations.
-
Collection of Content:
- Begin by gathering all relevant pictures and videos that will be used in the AR instructions.
-
Quality and Complexity Reduction:
- Reduce the resolution and complexity of files to ensure optimal support within the AR instruction.
- High-resolution images or videos can lead to long load times and decreased performance, especially on handheld devices.
-
Image Considerations:
- PNG or JPEG formats are supported.
- Be mindful of the total resolution if using multiple images in a single scene.
- Suggested resolution for images is around 1000 pixels by 800 or less to balance quality and performance.
-
Video Considerations:
- MP4 format is supported.
- Keep videos short and low resolution for better performance.
- Be cautious about including audio, ensuring it is at a reasonable volume and relevant to the content.
-
File Size Recommendations:
- No specific hard recommendation for file size.
- Consider the overall complexity of your project and aim for shorter, lower resolution videos and images for better performance.
General Tips:
- Prioritize using 2D content where it is most effective in conveying information.
- Mindfully assess the impact of file size, resolution, and audio on overall performance.
- Avoid unintentional loud audio surprises for the end user by checking and adjusting audio levels as needed.
This careful preparation of 2D content sets the stage for a smoother AR instruction experience, optimizing both visual clarity and performance.
