Here are the solutions to the most frequently encountered problems within the application.
Make sure the spell checker hasn't changed "Senar" to "Sonar".
If you are using a VPN, turn it off temporarily.
Make sure your device is compatible
If your device is managed by an MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution, contact your administrator.
User signed out: This function is available by tapping 'Enter as a Guest' on the sign-in screen.
User signed in: Don't sign out! To scan a new QR code, just tap the QR Code icon at the bottom of the Library screen. If you can't see this button, update the application.
The simulator is no longer anchored to the ground due to a lack or excess of light, or due to reflections in the room or on the floor. Exit the scenario and restart it. If the problem persists, exit and restart the simulator.
Make sure that you have the latest version of the SENAR application installed.
On newer mobiles, AR simulators usually appear in less than 10 seconds.
On older devices, the experience may take several minutes to start. Simulators must first be decompressed - something older processors do much less efficiently. A percentage shows the progress of the decompression.
Check that you have the latest version of iOS or Android.
This can happen on some phone models when the battery is less than 20% charged. Just recharge the battery and the AR experiences should return to normal.

Make sure that SENAR has permission to use the camera. Go to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> App info -> SENAR -> Permissions -> Camera; and select "Allow".
SENAR AR simulators are designed to be as close as possible to what users would experience in real life. They are anchored in your environment exactly like a real object. Therefore, to examine an area more closely, you don't pinch it like you would an image; you have to get physically close to it.
Interacting with virtual elements as if they were real and being able to move around them increases students' knowledge retention by activating their spatial and muscle memories.
Make sure that the hand holding your device is not in contact with the screen at any point.
We regularly improve our AR simulators. In order to provide you with the best possible experience, popup messages inform you when updated versions of the simulators are available and when an updated version of the application is required to get the most out of each AR experience.
Tap on the Refresh arrow at the top right corner of the Library screen (make sure your device has an active Internet connection).
If the simulator is still missing, make sure the QR code scanned to start the training session is from the collection containing this simulator - each collection has its own QR code.
If you are a student, ask your instructor for the correct QR code.
Sometimes the camera's focus may not be sharp, which hinders the recognition of the QR code. To reset the camera's focus, exit the SENAR app without signing out, then restart it.
Try scanning again, varying the distance between the QR code and your device. Scan in a well-lit environment.
It is normal for this message to appear if the instructor linked to the QR Code has been deactivated by their Manager.
You’ve reached your monthly usage limit. You’ll be able to use the simulator again starting on the 1st of next month, within the 5-hour monthly limit
