SDK Configuration Properties

Refer various SDK config properties applicable for WebAR SDK

Blippar Documentation Centre

WebAR SDK can be configured to select the mode (surface or marker tracking), customize the logo, style of the splash screen, UI screens (shown by SDK) etc using the following SDK configuration parameters.

These parameters can be used in different ways:

• Adding as properties in javascript object window.WEBAR_SDK_CONFIG. A separate script having this object defined has to be included before loading the SDK <script> tag.

It is supported only from WebAR SDK v1.1.0-beta onwards

Example:

webar-sdk-config.js

window.WEBAR_SDK_CONFIG = {
  "webar-mode": "surface-tracking",
  "rendering-engine": "playcanvas",
  "auto-init": "true",
  "logo-src": "../images/test_logo_here.png"
};

index.html :

<script src="https://webar-sdk.blippar.com/releases/live-config/playcanvas/webar-sdk-config-surface.js"></script>
<script src="https://webar-sdk.blippar.com/releases/latest/cdn/blippar/webar-sdk-v1.2.0-beta.min.js?license-key=xxxxxxxx-1111-2222-3333-yyyyyyyyyyyy"></script>

• Adding as html attributes to the <script> tag in which the WebAR SDK js file is loaded.

• Adding as a URL search params in the SDK script tag url.

Only the license-key property can be passed via URL search params. Passing other properties via URL will not work.

It is supported only from WebAR SDK v1.1.0-beta onwards

Example:

<script src="https://webar-sdk.blippar.com/releases/latest/cdn/blippar/webar-sdk-v1.2.0-beta.min.js?license-key=xxxxxxxx-1111-2222-3333-yyyyyyyyyyyy"></script>

If an attribute is present in both the WEBAR_SDK_CONFIG property and SDK script tag attribute then the WEBAR_SDK_CONFIG property takes higher priority.

...></script>

disable-ar-always-facing-camera

Description

When the stage cursor feature is enabled, the AR object will automatically orient itself to face the camera each time the user taps on the surface. This behavior is controlled by the disable-ar-always-facing-camera setting. If this setting is false, the AR object will continue to face the camera. Conversely, if the setting is true, the AR object will not adjust its orientation to face the camera upon user interaction.

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
disable-ar-always-facing-camera="false"
...></script>

enable-tracking-on-desktop

Description

To enable/disable tracking on the desktop browser. This will be useful while developing the marker tracking application on the desktop itself. It also works with the developer console's mobile simulator in Chrome desktop browser.

Right now only Marker tracking is supported on the desktop browser.

When set to "false", tracking is disabled on the desktop browser and the default qr code page is seen.

When set to "true", tracking is enabled on the desktop browser and the camera view is seen.

Default value is "false".

Also by default the camera view displayed is a mirrored image of the real world. To enable/disable this mirroring see enable-mirroring-on-desktop attribute for more details.

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
enable-tracking-on-desktop="true"
...></script>

enable-mirroring-on-desktop

Description

To enable/disable mirroring of the camera view displayed on the desktop browser when enable-tracking-on-desktop is set to "true".

When set to "false", mirroring of the camera view is disabled on the desktop browser.

When set to "true", mirroring of the camera view is enabled on the desktop browser.

Default value is "true".

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
enable-tracking-on-desktop="true"
...></script>

enable-photo-ui

Description

To enable/disable displaying the default snapshot camera icon.

When set to "true", a camera icon is displayed at the bottom the screen. On clicking it, user can take a snapshot of the experience and then see the preview of the snapshot to download it.

When set to "false", camera icon is not displayed. In this case, a custom snapshot UI can be implemented using WEBARSDK.TakeSnapShot() API.

Default value is "false".

Only for Playcanvas! To get the snapshot API to work correctly in Playcanvas rendering engine, enable Preserve Drawing Buffer flag. Go to Playcanvas Project Editor, then navigate to project SETTINGS > RENDERING tab and make sure "Preserve Drawing Buffer" is checked.

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
enable-photo-ui="true"
...></script>

gesture-rotation-speed

Description

The gesture-rotation-speed attribute determines the responsiveness of the AR object's rotation to user gestures. It modulates how quickly the object turns in response to user input:

• A higher value results in a more rapid rotation, allowing the object to spin faster with each swipe. This can be useful for scenarios where quick, broad movements are desired.

• A lower value yields a slower, more precise rotation, granting the user finer control over the object's orientation. This setting is ideal for detailed adjustments and nuanced interactions.

The gesture-rotation-speed attribute is functional only when the webar-ux-control entity in A-Frame or the corresponding mesh in Babylon.js has been appropriately configured and the userGestureRotation is set to true.

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
gesture-rotation-speed="1"
...></script>

gesture-scale-max

Description

The gesture-scale-max attribute specifies the upper limit for the scale factor applied to an AR object when users perform pinch-to-zoom gestures. This setting controls the maximum size the AR object can reach through user interaction, effectively capping the object's enlargement to ensure it does not exceed the intended proportions within the AR scene.

By configuring the gesture-scale-max attribute, you can provide a safeguard against excessive scaling, maintaining the aesthetic and functional balance of the AR experience.

For the gesture-scale-max attribute to take effect, it must be used in conjunction with the webar-ux-control entity or mesh within your A-Frame or Babylon.js setup, respectively. Additionally, ensure that the userGestureScale property is set to true, allowing for user-initiated scaling gestures.

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
gesture-scale-max="2"
...></script>

gesture-scale-min

Description

The gesture-scale-min attribute sets the minimum allowable scale factor for an AR object within a single pinch gesture. It defines the least amount of scaling down that can be applied, ensuring that the object does not become too small to interact with or perceive after one pinch interaction. This constraint helps maintain the object's presence and usability within the AR scene.

Please note that this attribute accepts a value greater than 0 and less than 1, which represents the proportional size of the object relative to its initial scale. Setting it to 1 would maintain the object's original size, effectively disabling any scale-down action, as each scale-down gesture considers the object's current scale as the base factor of 1. Values less than 1 decrease the object's size proportionally, with smaller values allowing for more significant reduction.

This attribute is active when the webar-ux-control entity or mesh is integrated into your A-Frame or Babylon.js application, with the userGestureScale enabled. It's critical to ensure that the gesture-scale-min value is set appropriately—above 0 and below 1—to facilitate user scaling gestures without compromising the object's visibility or interaction quality.

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
gesture-scale-min="0.5"
...></script>

hide-reset-button

The hide-reset-button attribute allows developers to control the visibility of a reset button within the AR interface. When set to true, this attribute hides or removes the reset button from the user interface, streamlining the experience by eliminating unnecessary elements. This can be particularly useful if the reset functionality is not required or if you wish to manage state resets through custom controls or interactions.

The visibility and functionality of the reset button are dependent on the webar-ux-control element being properly configured with the stageCursorUX attribute set to true. If webar-ux-control is not implemented or stageCursorUX is set to false, the reset button will not be present, rendering the hide-reset-button attribute inapplicable.

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
hide-reset-button="false"
...></script>

ios-camera-permission

Description

To enable/disable the camera permission alert dialog(generated by the sdk) on iPhone devices before showing the iOS system request to access the camera.

When set to "false", A Camera and Motion permission alert is shown only during the first time the application is loaded on the browser.

When set to "true", A Camera and Motion permission alert is shown during the first time the application is loaded on the browser. After that for every load, only the Camera alert is shown.

The advantage of showing the camera permission alert during every load is to start the auto playback of the video(if any) in the AR experience. In iOS Safari browser, a video cannot be played automatically when the scene is loaded. Instead it has to be played only after a user interaction. With this camera alert interaction, the app can start and pause the AR scene videos (using the callback from SetCameraAlertCallback() API) and also starts the iOS system alert to access the camera. Once the tracking has started, the paused videos can be played programatically to look like it is auto-played.

The default value of this attribute is "true".

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
ios-camera-permission="false"
...></script>

scan-btn-progress-circle-cx-coordinate="50%"
scan-btn-progress-circle-cy-coordinate="50%"
...></script>

scan-btn-progress-circle-radius

Description

Sets the radius of the progress background circle displayed around the scan button during marker tracking i.e. when webar-mode="marker-tracking".

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
scan-btn-progress-circle-radius="35"
...></script>

scan-btn-progress-circle-style

Description

Sets the SVG style of the progress background circle displayed around the scan button during marker tracking i.e. when webar-mode="marker-tracking".

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
scan-btn-progress-circle-style="fill: none; stroke: cyan; stroke-width: 6;"
...></script>

show-guide-view

Description

Enable or disable displaying the default Hand with phone animation guide, which instructs the user to move the phone left and right to detect a surface.

Example

<script src="path_to_webar_sdk_script.js"
show-guide-view="false"
...></script>

If the default Hand with phone animation guide is disabled by setting show-guide-view animation to false, it is necessary to display a developer-made surface detection guide. Without this the user will not be aware of the need to view a surface and move the phone left to right to detect the surface. To control when to show and then hide a custom Hand with phone animation guide, use WEBARSDK.SetGuideViewCallbacks(startGuideViewCallback, stopGuideViewCallback)

Supported Values- webar-mode	Description
surface-tracking	Runs the WebAR SDK in Surface Tracking mode. Surface Tracking is the default mode. If this attribute is not present or any other not-supported value is provided, it runs in Surface Tracking mode. In surface tracking mode, the <a-scene webar-scene> should have one <a-entity webar-stage> element. See webar-stage (A-frame) attribute for more details.
marker-tracking	Runs the WebAR SDK in Marker Tracking mode.
face-tracking	Runs the WebAR SDK in Face Tracking mode. Supported only when rendering-engine="aframe" for now.
lazy-mode	Runs the WebAR SDK in Lazy Mode i.e. allows the user to decide at a later stage which tracking should be enabled. The user can set the respective tracking mode using functionSetWebARMode("tracking-mode"), see the example below.

Example

Without Lazy Mode

<head>
  <script src="<path_to_webar_sdk_min_js>"
    webar-mode="marker-tracking">
  </script>
</head>

<body>
  <script>
    WEBARSDK.Init();

Playcanvas Customization

For PlayCanvas customization, kindly use the following config files which can be found at playcanvas/config folder in the downloaded SDK zip file:

• webar-sdk-config-surface.js

• webar-sdk-config-marker.js

These files have to be modified and hosted on a separate server (say my-server.com) and the url has to be overwritten in the Playcanvas project.

Process:

Login to Playcanvas and navigate to Settings> External Scripts > first url entry as shown below and replace the first url with your custom config url.

URL Entry Process

Due to the limitations in the playcanvas editor, the configuration properties cannot be directly modified or added in the editor and will need to be added in the above mentioned manner.\
