Precision 3D Object Alignment is a feature that significantly improves the accuracy of aligning to real world objects. Obtaining two additional angles can improve alignment such that the mean deviation is less than 3mm which is more than 2x more accurate than before.

Note: This is only available for all devices that support object tracking in WorkLink App 2.24.0  or later.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Enable Precision 3D Object Alignment in Settings:

   • Open the WorkLink App.
   • While viewing the list of scenarios, tap on the Settings icon (⛭) in the upper-right corner of the screen.
   • Toggle on the Precision 3D Object Alignment option to enable this feature. Note that enabling this feature will disable Active Tracking on mobile devices.
     
   • Exit the Settings menu to return to the Scenario List.

2. Load a Scenario with AR Object Trackers:

   • From the Scenario List, load a scenario that includes at least one AR object tracker.

3. Start Alignment:

   • During content placement, select any AR object tracker to start the alignment process.
   • When the real-world object is initially aligned, the app will prompt you to obtain more angles to improve alignment.

4. Obtain Additional Angles (Optional but Recommended):

   • It is highly recommended to capture two additional angles that are furthest away from the center for optimal accuracy. However, this step is optional.
   • If you do not need additional angles and are satisfied with the initial alignment, tap on Skip.
   • For each additional angle, use the sphere gizmo to guide you. You can obtain up to 8 additional angle surrounding the first. Each section of the sphere will turn green as you capture an angle.
   • Usually 1 or 2 additional angles should be sufficient.
   • Recommended angles include one that provides horizontal motion and one with vertical motion.
   • To capture an angle, slowly move in any direction until the next segment highlights. Move as far into the segment as possible for maximum data capture. Hold still until the segment turns green.
   • If the last angle does not improve alignment based on your visual inspection, tap on Remove Last to discard it.
   • To restart the alignment process from the beginning, tap on Start Over.

5. Finish Alignment:

   • Once you are satisfied with the alignment, tap on Confirm to finalize the placement of the AR content.

By following these steps, you will be able to leverage the Precision 3D Object Alignment feature to achieve highly accurate AR object placements in your scenarios.
