1. Let’s Start Sekai Camera for iPad

Welcome to Sekai Camera for iPad!
This guide will cover some of the basics of Sekai Camera for iPad, and get you ready for Air Tagging.

Launching the app for the first time

The first time you launch Sekai Camera, you will be asked to register an Account to become a ‘Registered User’. If you choose not to create an Account, your use of Sekai Camera will be restricted to simple browsing, and you will not be able to enjoy the many features of our Services. You can browse Air Tags without registering, but user registration is required to access additional features, such as posting Air Tags and using the life-stream features.
By becoming a Registered User, you will obtain an Account ID of your choice, which you will not be able to change after the initial registration. Your Account ID is important in administering our Services to you, so please do not forget it.

During the registration process, you will also be required to create a nickname and a password, which you may change anytime, any number of times, after registration. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.
We require a real e-mail address to communicate with you in administering our Services, and to send you updates and news. In the event that the e-mail you have provided us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering updates to you, we may not have any means to communicate with you or confirm your identity.

Sekai Camera Mode: Ambient View

The first view you see upon launching Sekai Camera for iPad is called “Ambient View”. The app will start loading data from the server immediately upon launch, and it might take a while till the Air Tags appear.

You need a network connection to use Sekai Camera for iPad. Make sure that your iPad is connected to either 3G or Wi-Fi.

Note: If you turn on “Wi-Fi” at the settings of your iPad, location accuracy improves even if you aren’t connected to Wi-Fi.
Yes, it sounds weird, but it actually does!

Ambient view shows AirTags around that place. These Air Tags will automatically flow to right and left.
If you move along with your Sekai Camera for iPad, Air Tags will move along as well.
Hold the iPad horizontally against the floor, and you can see the Air Tags around you in a bird view.

Ambient view’s functions are usually done through the lower menu. Flicking on the screen allows you to change the direction and the speed of the float.
Tap the Air Tag you want to see in detail, and you can see the date posted as well as nickname and profile picture of the user who posted that Air Tag.

Tap a floating Air Tag to display its details. The detail screen on Air Tags will display the nickname of its creator, their profile image and the date when the tag was created.
To delete a tag, tap the ‘DELETE’ button. Note that you can only delete the tags that YOU have posted. Once the tags have been deleted, you cannot undo.

There is no AirTag indicator in Sekai Camera for iPad.
Ambient view does NOT correspond with the direction iPad is facing.

Use the zoom function if distant Air Tags appear very small and are hard to tap or see.  Pinching in and out allows you to scale the screen to the desired size.

When there are several Air Tags in your surroundings and you want to see them in an organized manner, long press any part of the screen other than an Air Tag for a few seconds.
Air Tags will begin spiraling towards you. You can view the detail of any spiraling Air Tag by tapping them. If you wish to undo the DGE, tap any part of the screen other than an Air Tag to stop the spiraling. This feature will allow you to browse overlapping Air Tags when in a densely populated Air Tag area.

User Registration

You can log in or register to Sekai Camera by selecting ‘SIGN-UP’ on the side menu. (If you have already logged in, ‘SETUP’ will be displayed rather than ‘SIGN-UP’).
Select ‘LOGIN’ if you already have an Account or select ‘Create Account’ if you haven’t yet registered.
You can use the same ID with Sekai Camera for iPhone.

You must create an ‘Account ID’ and ‘Password’ to register as a new user.
Your Account ID is used only when you log in; this will not be displayed in your tags and other users will not be able to see it.
Your Account ID must be a combination of 4 to 32 alphanumeric characters. ‘-’ (hyphen) and ‘_’ (underbar) are also available.
Account IDs that have already been taken cannot be used. Note that once you’ve registered, you will not be able to change your Account ID afterwards.
Your password must be a combination of 4 to 16 alphanumeric characters. ‘-’ (hyphen) and ‘_’ (underbar) can also be used. Unlike your Account ID, you may change your password at any time after registration.
Enter the password again in the password confirmation field.
Tap ‘OK’ to complete the user registration and log in to Sekai Camera.
In the future you will be logged in automatically using the Account information you created.

Profile

Be sure to register your profile before attempting to post Air Tags.
Tapping ‘SETUP’ from the side menu displays the profile settings screen.

Choose a ‘Nickname’. Your nickname will be the name displayed to other users when you create an Air Tag.
Next create a ‘Self Introduction’. Your self-introduction is information about yourself that will be available to other users.
Please note that if you include any personal information in your profile (such as your name, a photo, or a description of yourself), other users may be able to identify you. Therefore, you absolutely should not include information in Your Content that you wish to keep private.

You can edit both your nickname and introduction at any time while logged in to the application.
Currently, Sekai Camera for iPad does not carry an option to change your profile picture. If you wish to do so, please try the Sekai Camera for iPhone.

Scroll down the screen and enter your email address. Remember that your email address is only used in administering our Services, such as in identifying you when you forget your password. Other users cannot see your email address.
You can also access other options from this screen, such as the ‘Air Profile’ display (ON/OFF) or password reset.
After completing the above information, tap ‘OK’. Your profile is now complete.
Now you are ready to post Air Tags…let’s start posting!
