When using devices managed via Meraki MDM camera access is denied. This limitation is with the way Meraki works and cannot be resolved by the content producers.
iPad Pro models may not show the camera feed at all, despite allowing it in settings.
On devices excluding iPad Pro running iOS up to iPadOS 14+ the camera feed shows black and white with some inverted colours.
Some Active Lens experiences no longer work.
The LGfL / Inspryo legacy AR content was produced some years ago. It is likely that older iPad (up to iOS 12) that have not been updated may be able to still run certain content titles with fewer issues but this is not guaranteed and will vary across content titles.
The publishers of the resources Discovery Education have created a new hosting system for many of the Activ lens experiences, their new “Sandbox” platform is available to all schools freely.
Discovery Education chose LGfL as a lead strategic partner to pilot the next generation of immersive learning resources for schools using the latest Augmented Reality technology; LGfL schools were invited to get involved in the pilot via the newsletter. N.B Schools had to have iPads that were 2017 or newer. See also pilot opportunities (for Sandbox AR WW2 pilot opportunity)
We also offer free training using Adobe Aero. Adobe Aero is an augmented reality authoring and publishing tool by Adobe on Creative Cloud. Aero is available for iOS, although there are versions for macOS and Windows which are currently in public beta.
When developing the new immersive technology platform, the consumption data from the previous generation of augmented reality content was studied to determine which device platform was used. The overwhelming majority of access to the legacy resources was via the iPad platform; therefore the first version of the Sandbox platform was chosen to be on iPad OS in the first instance.
