Overview

Since 4.0
Until 4.2

As of January of 2017 the BridgeIt project has been deprecated. As a result, this component has been removed from ICEfaces as of the 4.2 release.

The mobi:augmentedReality component renders a button that launches the Bridgeit application on the user's device to display an overlay on a picture or video with virtual objects and markers.

Technology Preview
Note that the mobi:augmentedReality component is in Technology Preview status, and thus is not ready for production deployments. Also note that this component is only currently supported on iOS devices.

Getting Started

To start using the AugmentedReality component, place the mobi:augmentedReality tag in a form and specify the 'value' and 'urlBase' attributes; then, nest either an mobi:augmentedRealityLocations or mobi:augmentedRealityMarkers tag inside and bind it to a collection of property object representing locations or markers.

<h:form>
	<mobi:augmentedReality
		urlBase="#{bean.baseURL}"
		value="#{bean.selection}">
		<mobi:augmentedRealityLocations 
			value="#{bean.messages}" var="place"
			locationLabel="#{place.title}"
			locationLat="#{place.latitude}"
			locationLon="#{place.longitude}"
			locationIcon="#{place.fileName}" />
	</mobi:augmentedReality>
</h:form>
