ARCoup with precise placement

Regular ARCoup are easy to issue and capture. It works perfectly to attract people from point A to go to point B. However, sometimes you may want to place virtual object somewhere precisely for better customer engagement. Besides GPS, it uses multiple sensors: wifi, camera, or even indoor bluetooth beacon to precisely locate an anchor for virtual object in ARCoup hunter mobile app. You can place virtual object at your store entrance, top of your table, or anywhere you like. Every hunter app’s user will see it at exactly the same location in AR viewer. Compared with regular placement, there are more steps involved in precise placement:

a. In arcoup.com merchant center, manager can select precise placement in ARCoup issuer and then issue an ARCoup.

b. It will not be shown on hunter app’s map immediately after step 1. You will need to use scanner app to scan around the anchor. Login into scanner app (ask manager to setup account if you don’t have extended scanner account).

c. In scanner app, select ARCoup placement. You can see 3 steps in the page.

d. (step 1 in app) Select the ARCoup number you want to do precise placement. Pull the page to see if the button at page bottom is enabled.

e. (step 2 in app) If the button is not enabled, you are not within the ARCoup preset capturing radius. When you find the place to put the virtual object, make sure you are in that range. Tap the navigation icon to help you if necessary.

f. (step 3 in app) Pull the page again and when the button is enabled, you can tap it and start precise placement. An AR viewer camera page will be shown.

g. Tap where you want to place the virtual object in the real word. You should be able to see the object placed. Drag it to adjust location if necessary.

h. Tap confirm button after you are done.

i. Use scanner app to scan around the location until it shows 100% done. This will upload anchor to the cloud.

j. Tap the taking photo button to take and upload a picture to help ARCoup hunters find it. If you are not satisfied with the picture taken, you can take it again.

k. That's it. You should be able to see this ARCoup on ARCoup hunter’s map now. If you make mistake, your manager may be able to edit and reset it in arcoup.com merchant center, which will allow you to restart precise placement from beginning.

The ARCoup hunters will see the picture you upload when they tap the capturing button. They will be attracted to the location you specified to capture it. They cannot capture the ARCoup unless they point camera precisely to the virtual object. This is what different from regular ARCoup.
