Creating a Registered Map

When MREAL will be experienced in the same MREAL space repeatedly, you can increase the stability of camera tracking by creating a registered map.

Press button <A> of the MREAL Display, select [Create map] in the displayed menu, and select an item.

The menu displayed by pressing button <A> of the MREAL Display can also be displayed by clicking [].

With [Look around], create a registered map centered on the MREAL user who looks around to observe the 3D CG.

Looking Around

When [Fix the position of the canvas.] appears, wait at the position (start point) to view the 3D CG.
Press button <A>, select [Start mapping], and press button .
Map around the start point.
- A purple square (A) to indicate the position of the “canvas” (the range in which mapping will occur) is displayed at the feet of the user.
- Look around within the range of the square at your feet to perform mapping so that the entire canvas turns purple.
Map the area to the front, back, left, and right of the start point.
- Move forward, backward, leftward, and rightward from the mapping start point. When you move within the canvas, the color of the square at your feet changes.
