Quick start

This guide covers the steps to display your first dataset in an AR application.

Upload a dataset

Create a project in the web application. A project holds the geographic data you want to use in your application, organized into layers. For example, one layer could contain street trees and another could contain building footprints.

Upload a GeoJSON file or a CSV with coordinates as a layer in your project. Create a render definition for each geometry type in your data—for example, tree for points representing tree locations. This mapping tells the SDK which renderer to use for those features in the layer.

See Creating a project for the project and upload steps.

Configure your application

Install and configure the SDK for your development platform. See Platform Setup for platform-specific documentation.

Once the SDK is configured, copy the SDK public key from the top left of your project page and paste it into the Project key field of the Reality Import Manager. Set the location near your data.

Create a renderer

Write a renderer for the render definition you assigned to your dataset. For example, a tree renderer can instantiate a tree prefab at each feature's coordinates. The SDK loads the nearby features and calls your renderer's create function for each one.

Follow the Creating renderers to create your first renderer, then explore Examples.
