I tried clicking on "Run Project", in which is opened a white screen with a preview of the animation and a button that says " open XR", but when I pressed it it didn't actually do anything and the info button in the top left corner just flashed red and the actual AR camera didn't open.
However, there is no APK, as this is developed to run in the browser.
This has a big advantage over an app, as it makes it cross platform, without the need for additional development to support multiple platforms. It's also what makes it possible to feature adult content on iOS, as apple does not allow porn apps in the app store.
With that said, I'm really interested in knowing why you would like an APK. Maybe there is some use case for it that I'm missing?
Why? I kinda dropped my phone in water a year ago and (from what I understand) the camera used for the AR bit of stuff doesn't work. Maybe that's not the case and maybe my phone just can't do the AR this is doing, or maybe it's my settings. I just know my phone boots it up and runs the animations and gives me the option to do the AR but won't let me.
not a big deal, but on Android (Samsung Galaxy 21+) Google Chrome seems to be the only web application to work, with Opera GX and Firefox not being able to open the camera with permissions enabled, even after apps and phone was restarted.
Would this be a browser issue or is Holoyiff only running off Chrome at the moment?
Thank you so much, I'm really happy to hear you find it impressive!
Yes, it's most likely a browser issue, as not all browsers supports AR features. ARCore is maintained by Google, so any chromium based browser is likely to work. Such as Brave, which I just tried to make sure it's working.
With that said, it's great that you bring this up, as I should definitely add some kind of warning when an unsupported browser is used.
word of advice, first thing you'd have to do is mod it to disable the sleep mode with advanced settings, its almost impossible to set up steamvr and pcvr otherwise
can we maybe get a downloaded version ? for me it dosnt open in ar even if i have variant. it sends me to volxspace.com/holoyiff but nothing really loads. my phone is an a50 os it "should" work but it dosnt
Thank you for asking. Just to make sure, are you referring to the Samsung Galaxy A50?
I'm sorry to tell you, but the A50 is missing support for Depth API in ARcore, which this currently depends on. Depth API is needed to gauge the distance from the device to the surface that the camera is pointed at.
Any device that supports Depth API should work, but I can't guarantee it, without testing the specific devices.
I will address this in the future by seeing if I can find an alternate approach or if I will need to add an error message, indicating that the device is not supported.
You're supposed to use the regular phone camera to scan the code. It should then open the correct page in Safari. There you will have the option to open with launch AR. Since you have Launch AR installed, you should see an open button in the top right after a brief loading.
It makes perfect sense that you would attempt to use the app itself to scan the code, so I will update the information to make this more clear.
it seems like when I scan the qr code with my phone it sends me to an empty white page with an info button called voxl but there is no launch with AR button is it possible im using an outdated iOS version?
If you check the url, does it end with "/holoyiff"?
If it does, then everything is good so far. However, if you don't see a button at all, not even a button that says View in AR. Then it would indicate that there is some kind of error, that prevents everything else from loading.
The url does end with “/holoyiff” but its a white screen, im using iPhone 7 Plus, on my computer the site does load but since its a computer I assume theres no camera options.
Thank you for the information. Unfortunately it's likely that the iPhone 7 is too old to support this. But I will try to confirm if this is the case, or if it's just a matter of fixing a bug related to older iPhones.
I want to try to figure out which iPhones models are supported, but has not been able to so far. So it's really appreciated that you reported this.
It's funny, I'm not sure how you would download it. But somehow it has gotten a few downloads so far, even though it's just browser based. No clue how that works 😅
It's been quite a challenge trying to figure out how to make the 2D to 3D conversions look decent. I still got ways to go for the quality, but I'm happy I have been able to take it this far.

Running this on Chrome on a Google Pixel 8
Hey, Don't mean to sound rude, but can we get an APK download?
No worries, thanks for asking!

Thank you for the explanation!
What phone are you using?
The support will depend on if your device supports Depth API in ARCore. You can check which devices supports it here:
ARCore supported devices | Google for Developers
In the future, I hope to be able to get some more older devices to test on, as I might be able to circumvent the need for Depth API.
I'm using a cricket dream 5G, it's kinda outdated which is why I think it's my phone more than anything.
Yep, it's most likely the case. It's not on the ARCore compatibility list and not on versus.com, which I use to compare specs for phones.
Wonderfully impressive project!

I couldn't make it work, but I still liked it.
Thank you! Though I wish you were able to try it.
What phone are you using?
I use the moto e40
Thanks for letting me know!
Unfortunately, that phone is not listed on the ARCore compatibility list. It's also unlikely to be powerful enough to be able to view this.
If you upgrade in the future, I'd love to hear what you think!
I just pushed an update that should improve compatibility for older devices. Please give it a try again and let me know if it fixed it.
will there be pico 4 support?
Thanks for asking. I would like to support pico 4, I just need to get one for testing.
word of advice, first thing you'd have to do is mod it to disable the sleep mode with advanced settings, its almost impossible to set up steamvr and pcvr otherwise
Thanks for the advice! I'll keep this in mind once I get my hands on one.
you're welcome... i went nuts trying to set it up
can we maybe get a downloaded version ? for me it dosnt open in ar even if i have variant. it sends me to volxspace.com/holoyiff but nothing really loads. my phone is an a50 os it "should" work but it dosnt

thank you for awnsering, can`t you use the ar app from samsung a50? its pre installed on my phone and works like a cheap vr knock off
What is the app called? I have been trying to look it up, but I can't seem to find a clear answer.
the app is called AR-ZONE. Here https://samsung-ar-zone.de.uptodown.com/android you can also just search ar- zone samsung
Thanks for the clarification!
Unfortunately, AR-ZONE does not appear to be a platform for developers.
I searched for the following:
"developing content for samsung ar-zone"
"custom content for samsung ar-zone"
"samsung ar-zone sdk"
"adding your own animations to samsung ar-zone"
And nothing relevant came up. The only search results I got was related to customizing the emoji character.
hmm whenever I scan the qr with variant launch nothing happens or it says it must be a variant or launch code
Thank you for letting me know about this!

Which iPhone model are you using?
Personally I have been using the iPhone SE Gen 3.
The url does end with “/holoyiff” but its a white screen, im using iPhone 7 Plus, on my computer the site does load but since its a computer I assume theres no camera options.

Hey 2077 called, wanted their technologies back
😆 I would love to add some cyberpunk inspired stuff, would be so fitting
how do i get this to run in vr? every time i try to connect it just place down a screen like i am looking at my desktop in vr
Which VR headset are you using?
If you're using the Quest, ideally Quest 3 or Pro, you should be able to play it straight through the browser, no download required.
I've played this in VR and there's so much potential here. If this keeps going, it'll end up being very popular in my opinion.
Thank you so much, I'm happy to hear that you see the potential in it!
I'll do my best to keep adding animations to it, and I'm really looking forward to be able to on-board even more animators.
On one side i don’t to download that!
On the other side I. REEEEEEAALLLLYYYYY WANT! To download That.
It's funny, I'm not sure how you would download it. But somehow it has gotten a few downloads so far, even though it's just browser based. No clue how that works 😅
I just assumed you will make an app later
Ah, got it!
We'll see if there will be a need for one, in case I need squeeze out more performance
It really does have a great potential but plz more male x male animations
Thank you, I'm glad you think so!
I'm more than happy to add more male on male animations. Just let me know if you have any favorite animator and I can try to reach out to them.
what the fuck did I just find?
😂 I'll take that as a compliment
Interesting
I'm trying to create something unique, so I'm happy to hear you find it interesting! 😄
well out of many furry games that I've read/played
You're the only one that I know with this concept
So congratulations
Thank you so much!
