QR code scanner

When performing an inspection task in a large facility, it can be difficult to know your location, especially as facilities can be remarkably similar. To help alleviate this problem, the QR code scanner gives the user a simple method of localising themselves when using Viewer on a tablet if QR codes have been placed in the facility.

All tablets contain an on-board camera. Once a QR code had been identified with the camera, Viewer loads up the best BubbleView in and shows the matching item (markup or measurement) in the laser data. The user will also see their position on the floorplan.

To initiate the QR code scanner:

1. Select the video camera icon at the top-right of the Viewer interface.

   

2. Select allow to enable the browser access to the camera. This only must be done once on https:// connections only.

   

   After allowing access to the camera, the scanner window appears.

3. Move the camera over the QR code.

   If the scanner detects the contents of the QR Code to be Markup that exists in the project, the appropriate BubbleView is loaded, centered on the linked Markup. The detected Markup name also appears at the bottom of the scanning window.
