Augmented reality

Augmented reality is a process that enriches reality by superimposing additional information on it.

You can use the augmented reality view when planning your shots through the planning tool and also to adjust your frame for the best composition before shooting.

Imagine that you have planned a photo with the planner and that when you are at the scene you want to visualize the scene to verify that it will match your expectation by making sure that the Sun, Moon or Milky Way will be in the position. desired.

Position yourself on the ground at the red pin, then press the augmented reality visualization and visualize where the Sun, Moon or Milky Way will be for the selected date and time.

The augmented reality view will give you the following information for the date, time and location:

  • position, course and direction of sunrise / sunset

  • position, course and direction of moonrise / sunset

  • position, course and direction of sunrise / sunset of the Milky Way

  • horizon with cardinal points

  • elevation and azimuth lines

Position and course of the Sun Position and course of the Moon Position and course of the Milky Way Horizon line and cardinal points Elevation (10°) and azimuthal (22.5°) lines

  1. Selected date and time

    • Swipe your finger left or right to change the time

    • Click on the calendar icon to return to the current date and time

  2. Position of the Sun, Moon and Milky Way at the selected date and time

    • Show / Hide the route of the Sun, the Moon or the Milky Way by clicking on the icons at the bottom

When using the augmented reality view, you should keep the following considerations in mind:

  • Always calibrate the augmented reality view. Do the number 8 gesture four or five times to make sure the compass is as accurate as possible. You can also use the visual calibration button.

  • Make sure you are away from any electronic device or magnetic field as they can interfere with the device's sensors. It is also recommended to wait a few seconds to let the system become stable.

  • The quality of the information strongly depends on the performance / limitations of your device's sensors (GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer).

  • Users of devices without a magnetometer will not be able to benefit from augmented reality. Because it is not possible to draw the information without being able to obtain the orientation of the device.
