2.3.24 Augmented Reality for SAP

Purpose

Augmented Reality (AR) is an interactive simulation of the real world. This feature has embraced a variety of businesses and manufacturers because it increases operational efficiencies by reducing production downtime, quickly identifying problems, and maintaining processes. Augmented Reality has been explored for many Android applications.

Liquid UI using augmented reality allows SAP users to detect and recognize multiple objects using coarse classification, which builds live visual search experiences. Therefore, it provides users with more information and context about the products or machines on which they work.

Here, the built-in camera in your Liquid UI for Android devices acts as a scanner to detect and identify objects. Thus, Liquid UI's AR allows you to localize and identify the most prominent objects in an image or live camera feed in real time. 

How to use

1. Long press on any input field or table cell (available on Assist popup mode) to open the associated context menu and select AR, as shown below.
