CyberLink YouCam Quick Start Guide
3
Augmented reality is available in CyberLink
YouCam 4, adding animated effects that
appear with you in your webcam video.
For best results when using augmented
reality:
• hold the pattern an adequate distance
from the webcam.
• once augmented reality effect is
turned on, hold your the pattern still
for about 5 seconds so the software
can properly detect it.
• a well-lit environment is required for
the augmented reality effect to work
properly.
• to see the augmented reality effect
correctly, hold the pattern so the "CL"
pattern is right-side-up and readable
in the webcam image.
• rotate the pattern to see all sides of
the augmented reality effect.
