FAQs and Design Tips

To start, you just need to pick what type of experience you want to create then select START.  There is no initial sign up required. We want you to try it out first.  When you are ready to view your creation you are asked to enter your email, that's all.  If you are interested in a Premium or Premium Plus account that's when you will be asked to enter your complete name and billing information. But first, try it out for free.

1. Log into your account and select VIEW CASTS
2. Click on the CAST Name and select CANCEL or schedule to add an end date.
3. To schedule, an end time/date turn off Renew forever and enter a date and time. Don't forget to save. 

CASTS (AR experiences) are billed on a monthly basis on the same day each month. If the billing date is the last day of the month it will automatically be the last day of each subsequent month. Cancellation requests must be made 7 days before the renewal date, no refund will be provided for the late cancellations or refund requests without a valid technical or performance issue. 100% refund will be provided in case of serious performance or technical issues, the customer has to send a valid proof of the issue in the form of screenshot or video format. Refund requests have to be raised before 15 days of the renewal date. Any refund requests after 15 days of the purchase date will not be considered.

Every studio is a 3D environment.  The only difference is what the plane will include.  PrintCAST requires you to upload a flat print image.  GeoCAST automatically opens up a map. ShowCAST is blank for object placement. 

At the top of each studio, you will find a mouse navigation guide to help you move the canvas around and zoom in and out. When designing you will want to inspect your design from all angles to ensure your placement is accurate.

Within each studio, you will find an asset guide that will show you how to resize, move and position your digital content. If you have difficulty with an asset try resetting the positioning or remove the asset and start over. Try rotating the canvas for a better angle.  

To maximize your working space click the ‘Powered by WorldCAST’ watermark in the bottom right corner of the Studio.

To exit full-screen mode, simply click the watermark again, or scroll your mouse to the very top of the screen to reveal an exit button.

GLB and GLTF formats. We also feature a formal creative partnership with Sketchfab, so our subscribers have access to over three million 3D models created by international graphic designers and animators within the studio itself. WorldCAST will automatically convert your files to the USDZ format required for iOS.

 (Currently only PrintCAST & GeoCAST support video)

PrintCAST and GeoCAST studios currently accept videos sized to a maximum of 100MB. If your video is larger than the max upload size, try going back to your editing suite and compressing it to a suitable size.

In terms of resolution, 360p is preferred, but the studio will accept 480p, 720p, and 1080p.

We have partnered with some amazing agencies so contact us for more information. 

Grab the blue arrow hovering on top of your AR element and hold the mouse button down to move your content asset up and down.

Always be sure to keep your content above the plane of view in the Studio to ensure your content is fully visible to mobile audiences. If nothing else start over. 

No. The beauty of the WorldCAST engine is that it’s available on any browser. All you need to access the WorldCAST platform is an internet connection and an up-to-date browser of your choice.

We recommend using Chrome, Safari, or Firefox, in that order.

KP9 Interactive implements server-side encryption and session protection on their WorldCAST Platform for keeping content safe. WorldCAST accounts use salted passwords with one-way cryptographic hash functions to prevent any unwanted access. Another double layer of security with software and hardware firewalls along with load balancing running on our isolated IBM servers ensures that content is secure and delivered clientside fast at scale.

Sharing is caring!

Once you’ve created and saved your CAST you will receive an email with details about your creation and how to view and share it. Towards the bottom of the email is a section labeled “SHARE YOUR CAST” which has a link to your CAST that you can copy and share with others.

Additionally, in the WorldCAST Portal itself, or in the Studio Preview window, when your CAST is loaded, a Share icon will appear in the lower-left corner. Clicking it provides a list of logos to social media platforms that can be quickly used to share your creativity with your friends and followers!

Models can be made in different file formats and by different software, which can lead to challenges in keeping all models consistent with one another across all devices.

We strive for a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) Studio environment so that you know what you create is what a user will see, but it would be a massive undertaking to account for the myriad of ways a model creator might construct their artwork.

Creators with experience and understanding of best practices are much more likely to create web-friendly models that behave much more reliably and consistently between Studio and Portal. 

We’re working hard to better support dynamic content like YouTube videos, as well as web pages in general. It won’t be long before you can simply copy and paste a link and have your YouTube video appear in your CAST anywhere you’d like. 

Interactive buttons can be made out of images, text, or 3D models. Once you have created an image, text, or 3D model object in your CAST, simply select the object you wish to make interactive to open its properties window this is where you can add an URL, phone number, or email address into that field. Be advised, sometimes a URL that works might not register as valid. We recommend that you check yourself that all of your URLs, phone numbers, and email addresses are valid. 

When you upload the file make sure you select green screen ON or OFF and the studio will do the rest. Only available for Premium and Premium+ subscribers. 

Without diving into crazy detail, basically, every  Android and iPhone dmart device manufactured within the past three or so years will accommodate the Portal. OR you can find your device in the long list below. 

For best results, use Chrome or Firefox as your browser on Android devices and use Safari on iOS.

No. Due to the complexity of the Studio, the webAR editor is optimized for laptops and desktop computers. 

WorldCAST is a computer vision platform with proprietary markerless/marker/geospatial tracking. Our one studio, ShowCAST, will use our SLAM engine or if one already exists in the case of ARkit/iOS, as an example, we will use that. One Apple release WebXR for Safari on iOS - we will be releasing WorldCAST 2.0

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a technique used in computer vision and robotics to construct or update a map of an unknown environment while simultaneously keeping track of an agent's location within that environment. Essentially, SLAM enables a device, such as a robot or a mobile phone, to navigate and understand its surroundings in real-time without relying on pre-existing maps.

SLAM typically involves three main components:

Mapping: This involves creating or updating a map of the environment based on sensor data, such as images or laser scans.

Localization: This refers to estimating the device's position within the map.

Loop Closure: This is the process of recognizing previously visited locations to improve the accuracy of the map and the device's position estimation.

Horizontal and vertical markerless tracking with point clouds are two different approaches to tracking the movement and position of objects or devices in a 3D space without the need for external markers. Here are the main differences between them:

Horizontal Markerless Tracking:

Focuses on tracking movement along the horizontal plane, typically on a flat surface like a tabletop or floor.

Often used in augmented reality (AR) applications for placing virtual objects on surfaces in the user's environment.

Relies on features extracted from the environment, such as corners or edges, to track movement and estimate position.

Examples include ARKit's horizontal plane detection for iOS devices and ARCore's plane detection for Android devices.

Vertical Markerless Tracking:

Tracks movement along the vertical plane, such as walls or other vertical surfaces.

Useful for applications where virtual objects need to be anchored to walls or other vertical structures.

Similar to horizontal tracking but adapted to detect and track features specific to vertical surfaces.

Can be used in various scenarios, including interior design apps, virtual art installations, or architectural visualization.

Both horizontal and vertical markerless tracking rely on point clouds, which are collections of 3D points representing surfaces or objects in the environment. These points are typically obtained from depth sensors like LiDAR or structured light cameras, or derived from stereo image pairs. The main difference lies in the orientation of the tracked surfaces and the specific features used for tracking in each case.

Vertical tracking in computer vision can be challenging due to various factors, particularly artifacts. Artifacts are unwanted distortions or irregularities in the image caused by various sources such as sensor noise, lighting conditions, lens imperfections, or reflections. These artifacts can interfere with the accurate detection and tracking of objects, especially when they occur in the vertical direction.

Here's why artifacts make vertical tracking difficult:

Noise Interference: Artifacts can introduce noise into the image, making it harder for computer vision algorithms to distinguish between relevant objects and background clutter, especially in the vertical dimension where artifacts may be more prominent.

Feature Extraction: Computer vision systems often rely on extracting distinctive features from images to track objects. Artifacts can obscure or distort these features, leading to inaccuracies in tracking, particularly in the vertical plane where artifacts might be more prevalent.

Scale and Perspective: Some artifacts may affect the scale or perspective of objects in the image, making it challenging for tracking algorithms to maintain accurate spatial relationships, especially in the vertical direction where perspective distortion can be more pronounced.

Limited Data Availability: In some cases, artifacts may lead to occlusions or missing data in the image, reducing the amount of useful information available for tracking. This limitation can be more pronounced in the vertical dimension due to the orientation of the camera or the nature of the scene being captured.

Overall, the presence of artifacts in computer vision images poses significant challenges for vertical tracking by introducing noise, obscuring features, altering scale and perspective, and limiting available data.

iOS and Android experiences differ slightly

Cannot place objects below the “ground” in ShowCAST; CASTs will always appear to be placed ON the ground, using the bottom-most geometry of the CAST to determine the ground plane.

A good internet connection is strongly recommended for all experiences, especially ShowCAST.

Battery life will vary depending on which studio you’re using ShowCAST requires more computing power so it may use more battery life.

Older devices can be drained quicker

Newer the device the better performance & battery life for AR experiences
