Calibration

1. Tap the button to turn on the camera.

5. Tap OK to continue.
6. Flip the phone so that it is facing down, center the front camera (not the phone) with the paper.

10. Slowly raise the phone to 12 inches or 30cm high.
11. Flip the phone back, tap OK button if it says the calibration is done. If not, the yellow message on screen should explain why.

Capture 3D Image

1. Tap the button to turn on the camera if it is not already.
2. Select "No Mirror" option if no mirror is attached, or "Mirror Attached" if a mirror is attached.
3. Point the camera towards object and center the camera (not the phone) with the object.

5. Tap the middle area of the screen to capture the 3D image.
6. The 3D result will apprear shortly after.
7. At the 3D result screen, you can flip, zoom in or zoom out by dragging, pinching inwards, or pinching outwards.

Tips for Capturing without a Mirror

1. If no mirror is attached, it is better not to look at screen while capturing the 3D image, just keep the phone centered with the object, and keep this distance about 12 inches or 30 cm.
2. Increase the distance if the 3D result appears too small, or decrease the distance if the 3D result is cropped.
3. If you really have to look at the phone screen, try to look at the phone screen from the direction of the target object.

Viewing 3D Images

Once all aspects of the object have been captured, you can navigate the 3D images using the on-screen buttons.
