How to Collect an Object on the AmniSphere App
For best results when collecting objects, it is important to note that the background where you are collecting objects should not be the same as the background where you are detecting objects.
Log In
Log in to your AmniSphere mobile app. You will be taken to a view of your current folders and objects. The “Uncollected” tab will be selected by default.
Select an Object
To find the object you’d like to collect within your organization’s library, you can either filter by the folder the object is in or search for the object name.
Tap on the object that you would like to collect. You will immediately be taken to the collection process.
Acknowledge App Warnings
Read and acknowledge the photosensitivity and epilepsy warning that appears on your screen.
View Collection Guides on App
If this is your first time collecting an object on this account, you will be taken through several screens explaining the motions our collection process requires as well as how to properly frame your object. Please read through these screens carefully. If you would not like to see these screens again, check the “Don’t show me this again” checkbox on these screens.
Below are some key points you should keep in mind from reviewing these screens:
- During the collection process, you will be prompted to collect your object on 4 sides. For each side, you will collect at 2 different angles.
- After collecting your object on 4 sides, you will be given the option to capture the bottom of your object. For bottom capture, you will collect your object at 1 angle on all 4 sides.
- During the entire collection process, your phone will mostly remain in the same position. You will need to rotate your object 90 degrees clockwise between sides.
- Try to fill your screen as much as possible with your object without cropping any part of it out of the frame.
Begin Collection
Follow the instructions and visual indicators on screen to collect your object on each side. You can view a detailed breakdown of the visual indicators present during collection on this page.
Review Collection
After you’ve completed collecting your object, you will be taken to a review screen. Review all of the angles you’ve collected to ensure none of the frames are blurry, cropped, or otherwise incorrect.
You can tap on a frame to zoom in and see it in a full screen view.
If there are any frames you would like to retake before submitting, tap on the “Select Images to Retake” button. Select the frames you’d like to retake. Once you are ready to retake these frames, tap on the “Retake” button. You will be immediately taken back to the collection flow for the frames you’ve chosen to recollect.
Upload the Object
Once you are satisfied with your object collection, tap on the “Approve All Images” button. You will be taken back to your view of uncollected objects and a notification will appear letting you know your upload is in progress.
While your object is uploading, you can continue to collect additional objects. You will receive a notification once your upload is complete. After your object has been uploaded, its status will change to “Collected” on both AmniSphere web and the iOS app.
