What is Augmented Reality & What Can it Do?
AR is a brand new medium. Learn what it is, what led us here, where we are now, & where we are headed.

Introduction to Augmented Reality:
Understanding Augmented Reality and the unique potential of the medium.

What you learned:
• Augmented reality combines the real, physical world with an additional digital layer. The potential uses are endless.
• We are witnessing the birth of a new medium and you can take part in its evolution.
• The AR software landscape has totally changed in the last few years. With Adobe Aero, you can create a wide range of augmented reality experiences without a single line of code.

Tips and Tricks for 3D Assets in AR | Augmented Reality Design Principles | Adobe Creative Cloud

Learn Augmented Reality Design Principles in this Adobe Aero series led by artist Heather Dunaway Smith.

Augmented Reality Workflow & Best Practices:
Learn augmented reality workflows & best practices for creating AR experiences in both 2D & 3D.

Best Practices for using 3D in AR:
Learn tips, tricks, & best practices for using 3D models, materials, & animations in AR scenes.

What you learned:
• Aero currently supports models with up to 130K Polygons, but remember that the simpler your model is, the better it will perform.
• I always apply scale, rotation, and position before creating any animations. This ensures that your origin (where your model is anchor is set to 0,0 and all animations will have the appropriate starting and stopping points.
• If I’m using a material that has textures, I try to minimize my file sizes by using compressed JPGs and power of two images.
• Some more advanced materials (also known as shaders) aren’t currently supported by Aero.
• Armatures are a collection of bones that control animations for specific parts of 3d models. They are the most efficient way to use 3d animations in AR.
• Bake your 3D animations prior to exporting them.
• GLBs are often smaller than FBX and work well within Aero.

Augmented Reality Workflow & Best Practices:
Learn augmented reality workflows & best practices for creating AR experiences in both 2D & 3D.

AR Best Practices:
Best practices for creating successful augmented reality experiences, including onboarding & safety tips.

What you learned:
• Always design for safety and comfort. Don’t needlessly cover huge portions of the real world. It can be disorienting and may create hazards.
• Onboarding is especially important since this is a brand new medium. Many people have never used AR before, so you need to design with beginners in mind.
• Try to keep your overall file size lower than 50 MB.
• Users can become fatigued when using AR for extended periods. So, try to keep it short and sweet.
• Don’t recreate VR in AR. Meaning, don’t completely overwrite the physical world. Leverage it. That’s what AR does. It augments reality.
