-- NOTE --

This app is powered by Vuforia(™) from Qualcomm, which requires users to read and accept an EULA (End-User License Agreement) that allows NON-PERSONAL data (device's model, OS version, etc.) to be collected by Qualcomm to enhance its products and services for users.

-- MARKERLESS AUGMENTED REALITY --

The marker (we call AR card) is optional for achieving augmented reality in our app, where the chair model appears immediately on screen without the need to aim your device's camera at an AR card. However, you may still choose to use an AR card to position the chair model on the ground.

-- BASIC FEATURES --

This app allows you to:

(1) Select a chair in different colours and models, and view the chair information such as price and company.

(2) Position the chair to fit in your room on screen by manipulating the chair model's position and size.

(3) Screen capture the chair in your room, and view it with your gallery app of choice; thus allows you to share it with your family and friends.

-- SPECIAL FEATURES --

(1) Lock model on screen (markerless augmented reality) 

- options to use this app with no AR card (or when the camera loses focus of the AR card), you may turn on Lock Model to either have the 3D chair model positioned on the center of the screen or on where the AR card was last tracked.

=> This feature solves the problem of losing the chair model on screen due to the limited tracking distance between user device and AR card.

(2) Reset model to default 

- options to set the 3D chair model back to its default size and position on the screen or on the AR card.

=> This feature allows user to better reposition the chair model from the start.
