Tracking & smoothing

Pick how the experience anchors to the real world, and fine-tune how steadily your model sits once it is tracking.

Choose an AR mode

Use the AR mode dropdown in the toolbar to pick how the experience anchors:

The studio toolbar showing the engine, AR mode, and Tracking controls above the 3D viewport — The studio toolbar: the engine (MindAR / 8th Wall), the AR mode dropdown, and the Tracking button that opens the tuning popover.

Marker (image): Content appears on a printed or on-screen image target. This is the mode that uses marker uploads and QR-linked print.
World (surface): Content is placed on a real-world surface using WebXR — no marker needed.
Face (head): Content attaches to the viewer’s face and head — filters, masks, try-ons. Use the Face regions button to assign assets to parts of the face.
Location (GPS): Content appears at real-world GPS coordinates. Use Set location to place it on a map, or capture your current position.

In Marker mode you can choose the image-tracking engine — MindAR or 8th Wall. The other modes show which engine they use (WebXR for world, MindAR Face, GPS for location). Marker mode is the one whose link you print as a QR code.

Single vs multi-target

Open the Tracking popover in the toolbar (Marker mode) and pick a tracking type:

Single target: One marker image. The simplest and steadiest setup.
Multi-target: Several marker images in one experience; whichever is seen shows its content.
Multi-tracking: Track more than one marker at the same time.

Single target uses exactly one marker. To upload more than one marker image, switch to Multi-target first.

Smooth out the jitter

The same Tracking popover has tuning fields. Every one is optional — leave it blank to use the default — and small changes go a long way:

Smoothing: Higher is steadier but adds a little lag as the model catches up to the marker.
Filter min cutoff: Lower reduces jitter when the marker is still. Adjust in tiny steps.
Filter beta: How quickly the model responds to fast motion.
Miss tolerance: How many frames the model is held after the marker is lost — prevents flicker.
Warmup tolerance: How many frames to confirm before the experience counts the marker as found.
Freeze on card: Locks the model steady for a marker that sits flat on a printed card. Best for a card that does not move.
