Altoura Frontline iPad QR Scan View

​
Overview

After selecting a procedure from the landing page, the app opens the QR Scan view. You must scan a QR code to anchor the procedure’s 3D content and step-based guidance to a specific physical location. The QR code acts as a spatial reference point — all augmented reality content (3D models, direction indicators, and annotations) is positioned relative to the scanned QR code.

​
When to Use This Feature

The QR scan is required whenever you:
  • Open a procedure for the first time in a session
  • Re-enter a procedure after exiting
  • Need to re-anchor content to a different physical location

Scan a QR Code

​
Steps

  1. After selecting a procedure, the camera view opens with a “Scan the QR code” prompt displayed on screen.
  2. Point your iPad camera at the QR code placed in the physical environment.
  3. Align the QR code within the viewfinder frame shown on screen.

​
What Happens Next

Once the QR code is detected and scanned:
  • The app anchors the procedure’s spatial content to the QR code location.
  • The Mode Selection dialog appears, allowing you to choose between Author and Operator mode.

​
Tips for Scanning

  • Ensure the QR code is well-lit and flat on a surface.
  • Hold the iPad at a comfortable distance — approximately 1 to 3 feet from the QR code.
  • Avoid glare or reflections on the QR code surface.
  • If scanning fails, reposition the iPad and try again.
  • Tap the back arrow (top-left) to return to the Procedures landing page without scanning.
