How To Use

  • Using wifi, download and open the free app
  • iPhones 6s and above or Androids with ARCore (iOS11 or higher)
  • Allow all permissions. 4th Wall does not collect any user data.
  • Download latest update for iPhone/iPad
  • Many projects have their own buttons. If you don't see the artwork you wnated to experience, tap the COORDINATES button.
  • In COORDINATES, the app will search for the nearest artwork based on your location. You will be directed toward artworks translated into AR, "go to..."
  • In the DIMENSIONAL DRAWINGS button, clicking on any of Baker Cahill's 2016 VR-translated-to-AR dimensional drawings will allow you to place the work in your current environment. Resize, move, and adjust the selected drawing by pinching and dragging it with your finger.​
  • Click "about" to be directed to 4thwall.org. You can re-enter the app by tapping the text “4th Wall” at the upper left-hand corner of your screen.
  • After selecting Coordinates, follow the arrow to view an artwork in your proximity.
  • The “Refresh” button updates the nearest artwork depending on your location.
  • Record the experience by allowing 4th Wall to access your photos. Use the camera icons on the screen to document. Your recordings will save directly to your camera roll. When recording video, you may not hear sound, but it IS recording. Videos will also save to your Photos folder.
  • Occlusion button - This is only available on some devices, and toggles environment occlusion. This allows you to set the AR artwork into the environment and behind real-world features.
  • Note: Person occlusion is always turned on, as long as your device supports it, so you can always take pictures of people in front of the AR artwork

Troubleshooting

  • I can't get the app to download.
  • Make sure you are connected to Wifi when downloading the app and that your device has enough memory.
  • 4th Wall works on iPhones and iPads, 6s and above
  • If your device matches these specs and you are still having trouble loading the AR experiences, you may need to update your software.
  • When I open the app and try to view one of the artworks, all I see is a black screen.
  • If you get a black screen, this means you may still need to allow 4th Wall to access your camera, location and mic.
  • Go to your phone settings and allow access under "4th Wall"
  • 4th Wall does not collect any user data.
  • The works take a long time to load, or I can only see "loading" on the screen.
  • Try closing some other apps/programs, then reopen 4th Wall. Make sure all permissions have been granted.
  • Let us know what's happening, and we'll try to fix it.
