Try SceneView

Get the demo app running on your device in under a minute.

Clone the repo and run:

git clone https://github.com/sceneview/sceneview.git
cd sceneview
./tools/try-demo.sh

That's it. The script builds the demo app and installs it on your connected Android device.

Requirements

  • Android device with USB debugging enabled
  • Java 17+ installed
  • adb on your PATH (comes with Android Studio)
  • Optional: Google's android CLI for atomic install + launch. When detected, the try-demo.sh script uses it automatically.

Try a specific platform demo

./tools/try-demo.sh --sample android-demo       # Full showcase (59 demos: 30 non-AR + 29 AR)
./tools/try-demo.sh --sample android-tv-demo    # D-pad controlled TV viewer

Run ./tools/try-demo.sh --help for the full list.
