Title: augmented reality poor accuracy
Post by: joze on September 03, 2014, 23:32:01
Hi,

I played with AR (latest testing version, offlines pois) and observed some oddities (assuming they're not related to the sensor failure as reported in my previous post (http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=4125.0)).

Generally I find the AR accuracy quite poor. This is probably not a Locus issue but an issue of inaccurate sensors.

But what I found very strange is that the position of the AR poi's in the image depends on the screen orientation.

Look at the three attached images. I labelled some peaks with numbers 1 .. 4.

any ideas? is this a sensor issue or is there some AR calculation error?

Btw.: the angle which is drawn into the radar seems to be the same for portrait and landscape mode. I'd have expected to get a narrower angle in portrait mode because then the field of view is smaller.

Thanks for a nice report. Unfortunately I have to say, that AR add-on is currently out of any developing plans. I more think about removing it from Google Play then keeping it malfunction. Sorry.
