In this help article, we’ll guide you through using the Universal Anchor Point with the Fectar app to place your AR content precisely and consistently. By using this anchor point, you ensure your AR experiences are stable, predictable, and positioned exactly where you need them in physical space.
What is the Universal Anchor Point?
The Universal Anchor Point is a specially designed marker (similar in appearance to a QR code) that you can print and place on the floor. It serves as a reference point for positioning your AR content. When you open a space in the Fectar app, you simply point your camera at the anchor point before placing your content, and it will be positioned at the preset coordinates (standard position: 0,0,0 for x, y, and z axes).
