Designing patterns for your space

The tracking engine recognizes the environment by the trackable feature points in the space. The feature points can be edges of a polygon or intersecting lines such as the blue dots in the illustration.

It is important to make the feature points clearly visible when designing your patterns. Here are some recommendations when creating your pattern images:

Use strong color contrast
Create patterns of different sizes in the image
Avoid repetitive patterns
Avoid circles and parallel lines

Before uploading your pattern for inspection, consider the following:

If your wall or floor pattern is smaller than the minimum required size, enlarge the pattern by expanding the canvas with white fill to meet the minimum size requirements.
If there's a break in the pattern—for a TV or window, for instance—use white to complete the pattern.
If you're using small patterns to combine into a single pattern to cover a large surface area—for example, by using a checkerboard layout—use white to fill the empty areas in the checkerboard layout.
If the space requires an irregular pattern, expand the pattern's canvas with white fill to create either a square or rectangle.
If you're planning to use more than six wall patterns in your space, do one of the following:
- Create two pattern groups. For example, if you have eight wall patterns, the first pattern group can contain six wall patterns while the second group contains the other two.
- If the walls are parallel to each other—distance is less than four meters apart—you can merge two patterns into one before running the inspection.
