About

AR Finder

Read full description

AR Finder is an application to use AR to view angles, capture information such as camera height, etc. for capturing images. For more information https://rklab.net/ar-finder-three-aims/ please look at. Notes ○ 3GB or more of memory is recommended because AR uses very much memory ○ Movie recording function is limited to iPhone 8 and later. ※Movie recording may not be possible due to circumstances such as many objects. Please use the screen recording function with iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone SE. Frames may be dropped depending on the model's performance. Although there is a trade-off with the complexity of the object, it can be used normally with the iPhone 8 Plus, but I think that the number of polygons near the limit of usdz will drop frames. As a model, iPhone 8 or higher is strongly recommended. For the purpose of capturing and using 3DCG objects yourself, what comes with the app is as easy as three people or cubes.
