AR Projection Simulator

Read full description

AR Projection Simulator is an app that allows you to simulate the installation of a projector using AR. You can visualize the relationship between the projector installation position and the projection size, and explore the possibilities of spatial effects created by Z-projectors. It can be used for preliminary design and creating proposal images for customers. 【Features】 1. Reproduces the various installation methods that are the greatest feature of the Z Series. You can simply select from a list to display the abundant installation methods achieved through two-axial rotatable lens and vertical/horizontal installation. 2. Easily simulate the demo of overhead installation, which is hard to do with actual equipment. You can easily visualize the hanging height required to obtain the desired projection size. It also allows simulation of the height of overhead mounting brackets or stands. 3. Compare various projectors and installation positions/projection ranges. By entering the specifications, you can register and simulate various models. 【Supported OS】 iOS 16.6 or later iPadOS 16.6 or later 【Supported Devices】 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone 8 or later iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st generation) or later iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation) or later iPad Pro 10.5-inch iPad Pro 9.7-inch iPad (5th generation) or later iPad mini (5th generation) or later iPad Air (3rd generation) or later For simulations in environments with less features, such as plain walls, we recommend using a device with LiDAR. 【Notes】 This simulator is a convenient tool for estimation only. It is not intended to provide exact measurements. There may be a few % differences from the actual measurements. Depending on the pose of the projector, shadows may occur due to the main unit being between the lens and the screen. For details, please check the projection simulator on our official website. https://optics.fujifilm.com/projector/simulator/

Ando is a team messaging platform that works better for both humans and agents. Agents aren't bolted-on as apps or bots - they're native team members that join your conversations and calls, understand your workspace context, and get work done alongside you. Mention an agent in any thread, and it sees the full channel. Agents can decide which channels to join, how to emoji react, etc. Beyond agents, Ando gives your team: - Channels, DMs, and threads with real-time sync - Video and audio calls with live transcription and searchable recordings - Rich text messaging with file sharing, reactions, and mentions - Full-text search across your entire workspace - Desktop, web, and mobile apps We built Ando because we believe AI should work with your team, not in a separate tab. Your agents should have the same presence, the same context, and the same interface as everyone else on the team.
