iOS users can now view 3D geomodels without downloading GST[AR]

Hello everyone, we have recently released update 1.1.5 of GST[AR], and while it has a couple of nice improvements in store for everyone who has downloaded the app already, we are convinced that it will be most felt by people that haven’t downloaded the app at all. Now, what do we mean by that?

With the latest update, we have added „App Clip“ support for everyone on iOS. That means that every iOS user can now scan a specific App Clip Code or a normal QR code to view a model without downloading the app first. If you have an iOS device handy, you can give this a go with one of the images below (they include two different models, so make sure to check out both of them).

You are on your phone and can’t scan the codes? Use this link: https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.giga-infosystems.gstar.Clip

While we at GiGa will try to include these QR codes in more and more of our GST Web instances and products, we believe that this is incredibly useful for many other use cases as well. For example, it could facilitate scientific discourse based on a presentation or a poster at a conference. Or users could quickly and ergonomically access a model on their mobile device by scanning a code that is presented on your website.

Our tool to convert and load your own models into the app, „Endpoint creator“, has also been updated to generate QR codes that are compatible with App Clips. If you want to learn more about the tool, check out our blog post here, or jump right into it and download the latest version here.

If you want to chat about the app or would like to learn more about QR codes and how to use them in your project, just send us a message via info@giga-infosystems.com. We are looking forward to chatting with you!
