Augmented Reality

Augmented reality is an overlay of content on the real world, but that content is not anchored to or part of it. The real-world content and the CG content are not able to respond to each other.

Workshop: Creating a photosphere

Connecting the Theta:

1. Press - power button is on the side2. Press Wireless button - Theta will start searching

for a wifi connected device3. Open Wireless settings on device4. Network name should include “...THETA…” make

sure the network matches the number on the bottom of the Theta

5. Use the numbers on bottom as password
