📐 Transforming Content
You can use touch screen gestures to temporarily transform 3D content.
Rotate content by taping the screen with one finger and moving the finger around the screen.
Scale content by pinching the screen with two fingers.
You can use metadata to persistently transform 3D content.
If the content is too big or too small or if you'd like to move or rotate it, go back to the console and add metadata to affect its transformation. After adding metadata refresh the browser.
The following keys are words the system uses as pre-defined metadata keys to control transformations:
Keyword | Type | Options | Effect |
x | float | Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0. | Moves the hologram on the x-axis |
y | float | Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0. | Moves the hologram on the y-axis |
z | float | Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0. | Moves the hologram on the z-axis |
scale | float | Any positive number. Default value is 1. | Grows or shrinks the hologram uniformly |
height | integer | Any positive number. | Set the height of a image hologram or a video hologram |
width | integer | Any positive number. | Set the width of a image hologram or a video hologram |
xAngle | float | Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0. | Rotates the model on the x-axis |
yAngle | float | Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0. | Rotates the model on the y-axis |
zAngle | float | Any positive or negative number. Default value is 0. | Rotates the model on the z-axis |
Remember to refresh the browser after adding metadata with AR.js experiences for the changes to take effect.
If you'd like to annotate the content, go back to the console and add metadata to add text. After adding metadata refresh the browser.
The following keys are words the system uses as pre-defined metadata keys to add and design text:
Keyword | Type | Options | Description |
text | string | Any string. The character ';' represents a line break. | Text to appear with the 3D content |
textColor | string | Any color. Default value is "white". | Color of the text |
textPosition | float,float | Any pair of positive or negative numbers. Default value is "0,2" | Position of the text relative to the 3D content |
textScale | float | Any positive number. Default value is "2". | Scale of the text |
textBackground | string | Any string. Default is no background. | Color of the text background plane |
textBackgroundHeight | float | Any positive number. Default value is "1". | Height of the text background plane |
textBackgroundWidth | float | Any positive number. Default value is "1". | Width of the text background plane |
Remember to refresh the browser after adding metadata with AR.js experiences for the changed to take effect.
Muting is only supported for 3D videos.
If you'd like to stop a video holograms from playing sound as it is play, go back to the console and add metadata to mute it. After adding metadata refresh the browser.
The following key is a word the system uses as a pre-defined metadata key to mute a video:
Keyword | Type | Options | Effect |
mute | boolean | Either 'true' or 'false'. Default value 'false'. | Mute the sound of a video holograms. |
