Device Calibration

By default, every device has its own coordinate system.
By performing device calibration, all devices agree on a common coordinate system.

3. Calibrate the device
   1. While in the VR application, lift both your hands so they are fully visible to the device’s cameras
   2. Move slowly across the capture area while moving your hands
   3. Character should “snap” onto your body (in VR)
   4. You can monitor the progress in the management system

Open the AR51 management system in a browser

Using the web interface you can monitor the system and activated the calibration process.

Open an application on a device that has the AR51 SDK

Once the app is open on the device, you should see the device on the devices panel.

Select a device and start calibration

Select the device you wish to calibrate from the device panel.
You should see a blue box that indicates that the device was selected.

Press the “Device Calibration” button in the management system.

Calibrate the device

While in the VR application, lift both your hands so they are fully visible to the device’s cameras

The VR device should see your hands. It is best if your hands are in front, between chest and head high.

Move slowly across the capture area while moving your hands

Do not wave your hands too fast. Move them in a relaxed speed.
Moving too fast can produce poor calibration quality.

Character should “snap” onto your body (in VR)

You should see the character “snaps” into place after a short while. This does not mean the calibration is over. You should still move around the capture area to improve the calibration.

You can monitor the progress in the management system
