Bug Fixes

 

1. GPS-based map viewing access control: We have fixed the access control issue that previously allowed viewers to view a map even if they were not physically present near the map location. Now, viewers will only be able to access maps corresponding to their GPS location for enhanced security and location specificity.

2. AR content interaction during navigation: We’ve resolved the bug that hindered users from interacting with AR content during navigation. Now, users can seamlessly interact with AR elements without disruption to their navigation experience.

3. Floorplan alignment peg placement accuracy: Improvements have been made to enhance the accuracy of peg placements during the floorplan alignment process. This will allow for more precise map creation and alignment.

4. Upgraded accuracy meter: The localization dial now employs a sigmoid function for better distance correlation. This results in more accurate and consistent localization, improving the overall navigation experience.

5. Hiding of AR content during IAP creation: We’ve updated the process to hide AR content while creating IAPs (Image Access Points). This will allow creators to focus on the placement of points, thus enhancing the accuracy of IAP creation.

6. Multiple IAP creations in the same session: The bug that permitted multiple IAP creations in the same session has been fixed. Now, you will be able to create IAPs one at a time per session, reducing the chances of duplication and confusion.

7. Bug fixes and crash reduction: We’ve addressed multiple bugs and made significant strides in reducing the incidence of app crashes. This will ensure a more stable and seamless ARway experience for all users.

 

We continually strive to improve and value the feedback from our community. Please continue to provide your feedback as we work towards providing you with the best possible AR navigation experience.
