this is amazing I have so many questions but glad you made this video! I wanna try this!!

[@user-we6si4mi3x]

Thank you for the tutorial !! It's great!

[@CM-df9sw]

Hi, this is really great! I just have a question...right now you must have all the prefabs in Unity itself. My idea is to have a website where people can upload any 3D object and tag this object with a certain location (e.g. like your web editor plus the option for uploading). Then you should automatically see these objects in the AR app (so the objects will be loaded from a webspace in runtime), so we as the developers don't have to always import the objects into Unity manually and then build a new version of the app for each new 3D object. Is this possible with your plugin?

[@UnityARGPSLocation]

It is possible. Our asset does not care where the assets come from. To download 3D models in Unity at runtime you usually use Asset Bundles.

[@SoftFocusFilms]

Looks really great. Been keeping an eye on this! Is it possible to add the data to how far away you are from an object. So if it’s like a map to find a location can show you’re ‘120m away’?

[@UnityARGPSLocation]

Thanks! Yes, it is. In fact, if you check "DebugMode" it will draw a line to the object and render the distance in meters from the device to the object on the screen.

[@user-ps8yz8dq9h]

hello! I just wanna ask one thing to you. What is the program name that you use for marking the locations at the beginning of the video? which you put "Name" and "Mesh ID"

[@Gman2777]

Looks great! How accurate is it? How much offset can be expected from the exact location you select on the map? Looks to me like it is within 10 meters of the the pin on the map, or is it even less?

[@UnityARGPSLocation]

Hi! It can vary somewhat depending on the GPS signal, and also on the device. In good conditions, around 2 to 5meters. On bad conditions around 10 to 15 meters I would say.

[@yannis486]

adding occlusion will make it perfect!

[@adamjamesstudio]

Any idea how?

[@yannis486]

@@adamjamesstudio well an easy way would be too cut objects from viewing when too far.

[@dayaraj7082]

@@yannis486 how to do that?

[@yannis486]

@@dayaraj7082 it is just a thought, if an object is placed more than 200 meters away from user's position then it is hidden. Or, vice versa, show only objects within 200 meters radius.

[@TheFabix84]

With the points created through the web editor is it possible to set a minimum distance that if not reached does not show the point?

Oh, and have you heard of the Flamingo GNSS? Will there be any support in the future? Unfortunately there is no possibility to download the SDK anymore. Maybe you already have experience with that. It provides an accuracy of est. 0.5 meters.

Hello. Did you buy the plugin?

[@rulen07]

very good video friend, could you make a video when you approach the location of the object there it appears, depending on the distance ... for example if I approach the camera about 10 meters from the location of the object there it appears please .... thanks .... great videos

[@dayaraj7082]

Have you made that?

[@hitlab]

Is it possible to create interactive experiences/games with this or can you only place static 3d objects at the location points? For example I want to create information screens to be available at certain locations on a hiking trail. But I want the user to be able to interact with the screen by pushing buttons for various content like videos, audio etc. and allow the user to submit information like a survey etc.

[@madhvendrarathod3152]

[@Mkrauz]

Hi! Thanks for the great video! Can the object be placed indoors also?

[@crosscreations_de]

Sure. But according to logic and the description in the assetstore the gps might be inaccurate indoors.

[@adamjamesstudio]

Now I have m,y head wrapped around this plugin, I love it. Question, has anyone worked out if its possible to switch off the planes visualiser?

Just go to the AR Plane Manager and set the "Plane Prefab" to "None"

[@Julien0577]

Hi! Good work! I’m looking for something similar to show a building with AR, but does the result can use occlusion? I mean for example to be able to see the building behind trees (it would be see the top of the building behind trees). Thanks in advance for your answer!

[@UnityARGPSLocation]

The AR camera rendering is all handled by AR Foundation (ARCore, ARKit) or Vuforia. As far as I know none of them support this type of occlusion currently, so I don't think it's possible for now, but maybe in the future when device's regularly ship with lidars and such.

[@Julien0577]

[@chrismouzakis]

Hello, I am interested in developing an augmented reality (AR) application using Unity, and I'm considering integrating your AR plugin along with ARCore. My concept involves users being at an elevated location, such as a mountain, and using their phone's camera to view specific 3D objects positioned on the lower plains below them. Could you please confirm if your plugin supports this kind of functionality? Additionally, I would like to understand if there are any limitations regarding the distance between the user's device and the projected location of the 3D models in the AR environment. Thank you for your time.

Hi! This is great:) Can I know how I could let the prefab appear one at a time once I get close to it, instead of appearing at the screen all at once??

[@UnityARGPSLocation]

Hi! The simplest way to achieve that is to adjust the camera's far clipping plane distance in the inspector (docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Camera.html). Other than that, you would need to create a custom script that monitors the distance and hides/shows the object's mesh renderer. The first option is easier and has much better performance.
