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.
• you can include your own photos in augmented reality effects that have the
icon on their thumbnail. To add photos, click on and then select to
specify the photos you want to use.
