AR Clip Mapper

AR Clip is the all-in-one WebAR viewer that works without installing an app and doubles as the capture tool for WebAR³ VPS maps.

Getting started

  1. Install the app from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ar-clip/id6742754238
    LiDAR is not required. The Android app is available, while map capture is still in development.
  2. Launch the app and tap VPS Map to open the capture workflow.

Create a new map

The home screen lists every map along with its status, title, ID, and creation time.

Tap the plus action at the bottom to start a new map. Grant camera access — a dialog displays the current GPS accuracy.

Starting capture and reviewing GPS accuracy

GPS precision is optional. If the accuracy is worse than 50 m, tap “Continue without GPS.” Waiting briefly or walking around can improve the reading.

Choose one of two capture modes:

  • Real-time mode — frames are captured automatically every second.
  • Manual mode — you trigger each capture manually.

Move the device slowly while capturing. You will see feature points—their density gives a fast indication of scene texture.

When you are done, tap Finish to upload the capture to the server.

Test localization and reconstruction quality
