Default State

After a facility or an object is scanned all relevant AR Markers will appear in default state on the screen in the world view.

Pulse State

The pulse animation appears when the user interacts with the AR cards or the markers in the screen view.

Selected State

When the marker is selected, it will appear bigger and change its color.

Tap on Marker

When the user taps on a marker, the pulse will animate and the connector line will appear as soon as the user interacts with the marker and the default marker will change to the selected state.
