  4. If required, select another augmented reality effect from the list.

  • hold the pattern an adequate distance from the webcam (30 – 45 cm).
  • once augmented reality effect is turned on, hold your the pattern still for about 5 seconds so the software can properly detect it.
  • a well-lit environment is required for the augmented reality effect to work properly.
  • to see the augmented reality effect correctly, hold the pattern so the “CL” pattern is right-side-up and readable in the webcam image.
  • rotate the pattern to see all sides of the augmented reality effect.
