ATTACHING AR EXPERIENCES TO IMAGES
MobileAR – Demo a Hidden View
I am always curious about exploring new tech possibilities (Watch prototype sampler) for training purposes. Zapworks is a complete augmented reality toolkit that helps push the boundaries of creativity and storytelling in AR, VR, and Mixed Reality (ZapBox). Get your feet wet tutorial: https://lnkd.in/g-pbiKq
Zapworks offers three unique products:
1. ZapWorks Studio
Studio is a feature-rich tool that helps you create fully-customizable AR experiences.
2. ZapWorks Designer
Designer allows quick creation of amazing AR experiences via drag and drop functionality.
3. Universal AR SDK (as of 6/5/2020)
AR SDKs for Three.js, Unity, A-Frame, JavaScript, and C/C++.
3D imports: When it comes to 3D integration, Studio has great potential! Studio supports 2D content as well as 3D models in a variety of popular formats, allowing you to take full advantage of the three-dimensional space provided by augmented reality experiences.
3D Assets
While Studio’s Sketchfab integration allows you to import 3D assets from their extensive library directly into your project, you can also import custom 3D models, including those with baked animations.
3D Export
I like that they have also included a handy export guide from other 3D software programs, making your asset import seamless.
Summary of Features
Timeline compositor, 360 video integration, and scripting possibilities.
Typescript
While Actions make it easy to add interactivity, ZapWorks Studio provides the ability to define custom functionality and behavior for full control over your experiences, through its TypeScript environment. Studio’s script editor also provides a number of shortcuts to help speed up your development workflow.
Learning curve?
Learning the software is not that hard, kind of mimics that Powerpoint compositing ability. You can overlay videos and images, create multi-screen experiences, transitions, and animations, add links to websites, and other prompts, all from the browser.
You can use Zapworks to build more engaging and sophisticated interactions, not to mention all of the eLearning possibilities.
And did I mention how great their support is?
