Tablet / Camera - Minimum Specs
DIR By: gmrhoades

I am looking to buy BuildAR for educational research purposes
and need some questions answering before I do:
Can anyone tell me the minimum specification required to run the
BuildAR Viewer satisfactorily on a tablet PC?
Is there a preferred minimum specification for the camera? I've
been looking at tablet PCs and they all seem to have different
specification cameras ranging from 2MP up to 5MP...
Also, I am thinking of creating models in 3DS Max - can anyone
tell me what the limits are on the size/complexity of the
models? What about lighting and textures - does BuildAR handle
them? is there a maximum screen resolution?
Finally, how many different markers can BuildAR handle in view
on the screen at the same time - I have an idea for using it to
model a network topology but it would need to be able to handle
four or five markers as a minimum to do that - I've seen the
second place winner using two markers so it can obviously handle
more than one - but is there a limit or is it down to the power
of the PC?
Many thanks
Gavin

Hi Gavin,
1. BuildAR won't work Tablet PCs which are run by Andriod or
iOS. BuildAR runs on Windows OS at the moment. BuildAR Mac
version is coming soon as well. However, to be able to use
BuildAR in tablet PCs, we need to redesign the software for
Android, iOS. We are doing research on this project at the
moment and hopefully we can have it by next year.
2. BuildAR Pro worked okay with 2MB web-cam. However to be able
to get bigger screen and fast frame rate the HD quality web-cam
works better.
You can check the below link to see the camera performance with
different spec.

3. As far as I know, there is no limit in model size or polygon.
BuildAR Pro performance will be determined by your computer
hardware spec.
Better graphics card and Chip speed will increase your AR
performance.
Check our FAQ page for more information.

4. BuildAR Pro can use multiple markers. We have tried 10
markers and it worked fine.
One way you can find out is to download BuildAR Pro trial
version and try it by yourself. BuildAR Pro trial version has
the same functionality with the paid version except saving
function.
Thanks,
Katy
