Hi guys,
Just thought I’d mention a few things regarding multiple-image tracking in Studio.
While creating an experience that tracks from several targets is possible (as is evident from some experiences we’ve seen, including @stevesanerd’s competition entry), it is not currently supported nor recommended due to the instability and unreliability of the implementation in its current state.
Support for multi-image tracking has been discussed internally, but as it’s part of a much larger discussion we don’t have any further information to share at this point, unfortunately.
For those of you eager for this type of functionality, we’ve created a brief example to show how our internal team simulates tracking the same experience from multiple targets, using Deep Links.
We’ll be looking at creating more comprehensive documentation/examples around the use of Deep Links in the future.
The ZPP’s and target images can be downloaded here - Simple Deep Link.zpp (2.1 MB)
Simple Deep Link 2.zpp (2.3 MB)
To understand this I would suggest printing out both the target images.
To summarise - these targets are linked to similar experiences showing a 3D model and a screen relative button. When scanning the zapcode on the first target, the 3D model will be tracked to target image 1 (try looking at target 2 and the 3D model will not track).
Touching the button will 'launchUrl(…)` of a deep link and load the second experience. The 3D model will now be tracked to the second tracking image! Touching the button again will then re-load the first experience and re-track the model back to the original target, and so on.
Hope this helps.
George
