Learn about climate change with Mt Resilience

WebAR is short for Web-based Augmented Reality as it does not require a unique mobile App to function. Users can instead access AR experiences directly from their smartphone using the native camera and mobile web browser, such as Safari or Google Chrome.

If you have an Android mobile device, you can play Mt Resilience in Google Chrome.

If you have an iOS device, you can only play Mt Resilience in Safari.

Both Android and iOS devices support Mt Resilience webAR, unless they are more than 5 years old. It will work on both phones and tablets.

• For iOS, Mt Resilience requires iOS 11 or newer, and an A9 chip or newer. Find out if your iOS device is AR compatible.
• For Android, webAR requires Android 10 or newer. Find out if your Android device is AR compatible.

1. Mt Resilience on mobile works best with a clear playspace and good lighting. We recommend that you find a table or clean surface around table height.
2. Open Mt Resilience on your mobile device. You can also copy and paste the URL into your compatible mobile browser directly: https://www.mtresilience.com/
3. Wait for the loading page to finish before clicking 'yes' to the two permission questions. This gives Mt Resilience the ability to use your camera feed and other phone sensors for AR Tracking, while you are viewing it.
4. When you see your camera feed appear, raise your phone as if aiming to take a photo of the nearest flat, clear surface, like a table. Then go through the setup options on screen one by one.
5. Time to explore! You can enjoy Mt Resilience alone, or share the experience with friends and family.
6. Get up and move! You can play Mt Resilience sitting down, but it’ll be easier to look around if you’re standing up.

Yes, you can! Mt Resilience was designed to be accessible on a laptop or desktop and you can access it here.

The experience was specifically built for WebAR which only works on mobiles, so we do recommend that you play Mt Resilience on your mobile device to get the best experience possible.

Depending on your internet connection, the loading screen can take up to 30 seconds to pass.

If it goes longer than that, you might be using an incompatible browser. If you’ve already checked that, try closing your browser and reopening it.

Finally, you may have previously blocked your browser from using your camera feed or other sensors. For webAR to work, it needs access to your mobile's camera:

• On iOS, go to Settings > Safari and check the setting for Camera is not set to Deny
• On Android, go to the Chrome app > to the right of the address bar, tap more settings > Tap Site Settings > Tap Camera

Ensure your volume is high enough, and if you have a physical mute button, check that this is not turned on.

The advanced webAR functionality of Mt Resilience takes a fair bit of processing power to run smoothly. If your device is lower powered or not from a major manufacturer it will be less likely to be able to run this experience.

Make sure both your compatible mobile browser and your mobile operating system are fully updated and that your permissions don’t block requests to use the camera or other sensors. (See I’m still stuck on the loading screen above for more info).

Finally, turning your phone off and on again can sometimes help, too!

It sounds like you might be having an issue with the AR tracking.

We suggest that you use the replace button in the top right-hand side of your screen to place the experience back on a solid surface.

The best surface for Mt Resilience to sit on is a clear, brightly lit table, bench, desk or on the floor - but you might find it difficult to see all the really cool details down that low!

Outside usually works pretty well, too.
