One of levAR’s goals is to make AR accessible for any user no matter what device, browser or operating system they use. Unfortunately, on occasion we run into a browser or device where that’s not possible and so we have to figure out a workaround.
One place where commonly see this is in-app browsers. The LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram apps specifically can struggle with opening an AR file. The levAR viewer will work without an issue but when a user tries to view the file in AR, normally they would get an error.
To resolve that, we provide an easy way to transition people out of the in-app experience and into a supported browser.
You'l see when you click the AR Activation in one of these apps, we'll provide a popup so that the user can copy the AR link and paste it into a supported browser like Safari or Chrome.
Once the user pastes the link into their browser, the AR should open without any issues.
