Tips for Optimal Use

To make sure you have the best experience while using the Art.Augmented app, keep the following tips in mind:

  • Ensure proper lighting: A dimly lit space may prevent the app from correctly projecting the artwork. Moderate lighting helps the app find the projection surface.
  • Provide reference points: In rooms with completely white walls, the app may need a reference point like a door frame or visible part of the floor to help scale the artwork correctly.
  • Allow enough space: Make sure you have sufficient distance between the camera and the projection surface. Tight spaces may not display larger artworks accurately.
  • Use the marker (if needed): In most cases, the app will align the artwork automatically. However, if your device struggles to do so, you can use the AR marker provided by the app.
