Highlighting barcodes with the Custom UI AR Overlay on Web

Overview​

The AR Overlay can be enabled to display and select recognized barcodes in an augmented-reality fashion. Each recognized barcode will be highlighted by a colored frame and text.

Tapping on a barcode will deliver the barcode scanning result to the delegate of the barcode scanner. These tapped/delivered barcodes can be highlighted with a different color. The displayed text is customizable.

RTU AR Overlay

The AR Overlay is also part of the SDK's RTU UI.

AR Overlay scanning modes​

Displaying an extra layer of information in the live view is useful for a range of scanning use cases. Here are three barcode scanning use cases supporting the AR Overlay:

  • Multi Scan: Quickly scan multiple barcodes in one go, highlighting scanned codes.
  • Select Scan: Selectively capture barcodes by tapping them.
  • Find & Pick: Locate specific items with a pre-defined barcode value in a large inventory.
