AR Cards

Intro

The AR card displays key information of a marker annotation with a thumbnail image, icon, or app of an object. Users can tap on it to navigate to the full-screen view of the card and users can also swipe between the cards.

Anatomy

AR cards may include variations of the following elements. The content should match with the information connected to the marker in the screen view. AR cards have a focused and unselected state.

A. Image Preview

The image preview can display a thumbnail of an image, video, document, barcode, or an app logo with the icon displayed on the marker.

B. Content Area

The content area can display the title and subtitle.

C. Action Button

The action button is optional. The action button is hidden in the unselected state.

Behavior and Interaction

Change to Focused State

To view a card in the focused state, the user can swipe the cards horizontally. When the user is swiping cards, the marker pulse animates with a delay after the card is in the focused state to give enough time to the user to navigate the marker on the screen.
