AR Presentation Styles In Misterine AR

Augmented Reality can support many different use cases. Just like what is augmented and how those augmentations look changes based on the use cases, how that content should be presented by the surrounding application changes. To support this in Misterine App, we have introduced AR Presentation Styles. With these styles Misterine App can replace three apps with just one.

AR Presentations Styles control the context and look and feel of the AR content that is being presented, rather than the content itself. This introduces flexibility that allows Misterine App to support a wide range of industrial and educational AR needs.

AR Presentation Styles

Misterine AR supports 3 different modes of presentation in the App that change how the App displays the AR Content. The mode is selected as part of the AR Content creation process in Misterine Studio, our authoring software. By picking the right AR Presentation Style App adapts to the intended use of that AR Content.

AR Showcase

An AR Showcase displays a new machine in the available physical space, demonstrating both the fit and also providing the potential client with the feeling that it is already there. See How Augmented Reality is Revolutionizing Product Showcases to learn more about the power of this field sales approach.

AR Showcases are single displays of AR Content, typically just a single 3D model. The focus is on the model that is displayed. The UI is minimized to allow the object displayed to be shown. This is ideal for Product Showcases, design reviews, AR installations, and more.

Although it is a single display focused presentation, this does not mean that it need only be a simple form of AR. Additional information can be displayed. Animations can be used. It can also be truly augmented on a physical objects, for instance as an installation piece. Examples of this include as part of an art installation to provide a view of the original undamaged sculptures by adding the missing parts “back” on or enhancing a piece of an important tree to show how insects would travel on it, including occlusions.

AR Catalog

An AR Catalog shows various kitchen designs in the clients space. Through interactive physical exploration the client can be sure of design choices.

AR Catalogs are for the display of multiple AR scenes that could be accessed in any order by the user. This presentation style allows the user to view the different scenes/3D objects in any order and keeps the focus on the AR Content by providing only a minimal UI.

Named for one of the most common uses, a catalog of products or product variations, the AR Catalog is useful for more use cases. Generally, there is a connection between the scenes: product variations (colors, woods, finishes), product lines, time, manufacturer, proposed design alternatives, etc.

AR Manual

View in the Misterine App of a AR Manual for the assembly of a furniture item. We see two sides being connected with visualization of how a lock nut should be inserted and tightened.
AR Manuals provide a mixture of visual and textual description of processes that makes it easy for anyone to follow. The dreaded flat pack assembly task is made easy with visual guidance directly in the clients space.

AR Manuals are progressions of AR content that follow a general order that is set in advance, though Misterine AR supports non-linear flows.

This can be used to create experiences as well as all of the variations of manuals. This is coupled with textual information associated with each Task in the Process (terms we use in Misterine Studio).  Use cases covered by AR Manuals include: Instruction Manuals, Maintenance Manuals, Assembly Manuals, Tutorials, Product Introductions, Educational Lessons, & Trainings.

Summary

AR content has various uses that require different presentations from the app. This leads either to a poor fit of content with the presentation of an app or the requirement of different AR apps to fit each need. Misterine’s no-code AR solution solves this by providing 3 AR Presentation Style.

These styles cover the needs of industrial and educational consumers and content creators. AR Showcases specialize on focused of a single piece of AR content. AR Catalogs provide the user with access to related AR content pieces with easy direct access. Guide a user through a process or a learning element with AR Manuals.
