Define a 3D AOI as a frame
==========================

When an 3D AOI of the scene contains other coplanar 3D AOI, like a screen with GUI elements displayed on it, it is better to describe them as 2D AOI inside a 2D coordinates system related to the containing 3D AOI.

## Add ArFrame to ArUcoScene

The [ArFrame](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame) class defines a rectangular area where timestamped gaze positions are projected and inside which they need to be analyzed.

Here is the previous extract where "Left_Screen" and "Right_Screen" AOI are defined as a frame into [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) configuration:

Now, let's understand the meaning of each JSON entry.

### *frames*

An [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) instance can contain multiples [ArFrames](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame) stored by name.

### Left_Screen & Right_Screen

The names of 3D AOI **and** their related [ArFrames](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame). Basically, it is useful for visualization purposes.

!!! warning "AOI / Frame names policy"

    An [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) layer 3D AOI is defined as an [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) frame, **provided they have the same name**.

!!! warning "Layer name policy"

    An [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) frame layer is projected into an [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) layer, **provided they have the same name**.

!!! note

    [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) frame layers are projected into their dedicated [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) layers when the JSON configuration file is loaded.

### *copy_background_into_scenes_frames*

When the timestamped camera image is passed to the [ArUcoCamera](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoCamera) method, it is possible to apply a perspective transformation in order to project the watched image into each [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) [frame's background](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame) image.

## Pipeline execution

[ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) frames benefits from all the services described in the [gaze analysis pipeline section](../gaze_analysis_pipeline/introduction.md).

!!! note

    Timestamped [GazePositions](../../argaze.md/#argaze.GazeFeatures.GazePosition) passed to the [ArUcoCamera](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoCamera)  are automatically projected into [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) frames if applicable.

Each [ArUcoScene](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArUcoMarker.ArUcoScene) frames image is displayed in a separate window.
