Universals Links

Introduction

Deep links provides interoperability between the web, social posts or emails and the native Hoverlay camera. Deep links are simply URLs that open the Hoverlay camera, and display the content referenced in the URL.

Deeplink Endpoint : https://view.hoverlay.com/v1/

There are two available actions via deep links:

  • Turn png or jpg images into a frame that can be hung on walls
  • Present your product or service by turning a green screen video straight into a hologram
  • Turn your 3d models into something anyone can experience in their space

We use Universal deep links which are the most compatible solution for linking from a mobile web page or other non-native app (e.g., text message). See an example universal deep link to Hoverlay.

URL Encoding Parameter values used in linking must be fully URL-encoded.


Framed art, Posters and other images Turn png or jpg images into a frame that can be hung on walls

To try out deep linking, tap the following URL in the native browser on a mobile device where the Hoverlay app is installed and observe the behavior:
