TROUBLESHOOTING ISSUES A ONE-OF-A-KIND WALKAROUND FOR A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND MACHINE

Launched at Bauma 2018, the Cat® D6 AR Tour App was a big hit with those attending the show — a simple but exciting way to get all the details on this revolutionary machine. The app can be used on a D6 or D6 XE, although it was designed with the full features of the D6 XE in mind. Now this interactive tool is available for you to use with your customers, with multiple options to fit different situations.

+ Have a D6 XE on site? Choose the “Real Dozer” experience to bring a high- tech feel to a traditional walkaround. Combining augmented and virtual reality experiences with an actual machine, it’s a great complement to the technological advances on the dozer itself.

+ No D6 XE available? No problem. Select “Virtual Dozer” to simulate an actual walkaround and demo the machine’s capabilities. There’s even an augmented reality mode that takes the experience up a notch.

This how-to guide contains all the information you need to launch and use the Cat D6 AR Tour App. If you run into questions or issues that aren’t addressed here, please let us know:

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

For a fast, smooth app experience, make sure you have:

+ iPad Pro Generation 3 OR iPad + Apple A10X processor with 4 Pro Generation 2 running iOS GB of RAM (minimum) 12 or later + 2 GB of available disk space CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCE

Once you log in, you’ll land on the Home screen, where you’ll select the experience you want to share with the customer. You have two options:

+ The Virtual Dozer experience requires just your iPad. You’ll also need a physical image target if you want to use the augmented reality feature. (Details on how to acquire a physical image target are in the “Finding Resources” section.)

+ The Real Dozer experience highlights features on an actual dozer using the app and your iPad’s camera. It requires an actual D6 XE on site and a series of magnets placed in specific areas on that machine. (Details on how to acquire magnets are in the “Finding Resources” section.)

Press “Start” to launch your selected experience. The app will remember your choice and auto-select it for you the next time you log in, but you can always switch to the other experience on the Home screen, which you can always return to by tapping the house icon in the top right corner. (NOTE: You may see a spinning gear as the app loads the experience or when you switch between experiences.) USING THE APP: VIRTUAL DOZER EXPERIENCE

With the Virtual Dozer experience, you and your customers can explore the D6 XE in a virtual world right on your iPad — no actual dozer required. There are two modes available within this experience: standard mode and augmented reality (AR) mode.

HOW TO USE STANDARD MODE

+ Zoom in with two fingers to show customers more detail.

+ Spin the dozer with your finger to take a closer look at the front, back and sides.

+ Click on a hotspot to display billboards with key feature and benefit info. Use the “More” button for additional content. (Click the X to close any hotspot.)

+ Go inside the cab, where you can spin the image for a 360° view and click on additional hotspots.

+ Play a video showing how the powertrain works. You can access it from the Powertrain hotspot or the Powertrain tab on the side menu. (NOTE: This video has no audio.)

+ Use the side menu as another way to access hotspots. (This is a great option if you get tired of holding the iPad with one hand — use two hands to hold it and your thumbs to scroll.) USING THE APP: VIRTUAL DOZER EXPERIENCE

HOW TO USE AR MODE

+ First, click the “hamburger” icon to access the side menu and use the toggle to turn on “AR Mode.” That tells the app to use your iPad’s camera to look for a physical image target. (NOTE: Once you turn on AR mode, the app will remember your selection and default to this mode the next time you log in. Use the side menu to turn it off and go back to standard mode.)

+ Place the physical image target in front of your iPad and point the camera at it. The dozer will appear in 3D “on top” of the target.

The simplest option on the Cat D6 AR Tour App — Virtual Dozer in standard mode — requires nothing more than your iPad. But if you want to take the experience up a notch by using Virtual Dozer in AR mode or Real Dozer, you’ll need some additional materials.

VIRTUAL DOZER EXPERIENCE TARGET

Required for using AR mode within the Virtual Dozer experience. The app target should be printed on white paper for a high-contrast image. You can find the print file on the Cat D6 AR Tour App support page: www.cat.com/d6tour

MACHINE MAGNETS

Required for the Real Dozer experience. To avoid issues with glare, choose magnets with a matte finish. Print files are available on the Cat D6 AR Tour App support page: www.cat.com/d6tour TROUBLESHOOTING ISSUES
