Web Perception Toolkit running on a phone

This toolkit provides a set of components and utilities for developers to add an augmented experience to their website. For example, a primary use-case supported is the ability to detect barcodes (in -- say -- a real-world store) with the user's device camera, and to show them extended information on a given product.

Please see our Getting Started guide.

Overview

Included in this toolkit:

  • Device Support Detection
    • Barcode Detector
    • getUserMedia and environment camera
    • Geolocation
    • Wasm
  • Detectors
    • Barcode Detector (native / ZXing)
    • QR Codes (native / ZXing)

Installation

Please check out our Getting Started guide for far more information.

Briefly, however: we recommend installation via npm. Simply:

npm install --save perception-toolkit

A few starting samples are under demo, where you can see how to set up barcode detection and the display of values to the end user. The most basic is demo/simple, and this may be a good starting point in your own project. Once you copy demo/simple/index.html into your own project, you'll need a few small modifications to refer to the Web Perception Toolkit installed in node_modules (and assuming that node_modules is available at the root of your server, as it is with our sample server):

  • You must specify root in the existing window.PerceptionToolkit.config:

    window.PerceptionToolkit.config = {
      root: '/node_modules/perception-toolkit',
      
      ...
    }
    
  • You must change the location of bootstrap.js (included at the end of <body>):

    <script src="/node_modules/perception-toolkit/lib/bundled/bootstrap.js"></script>
