Do you know that the fastest way of invoking WebAR experience is to use marker-based AR. The marker looks more or less like an advanced QR or barcode. When users focus their camera to the marker, the AR experience comes up.
Where you can use such marker based Web AR campaigns? Use it in digital or print ad campaigns. Use it in product packaging to engage users with an instant AR experience.
Let us go through a step by step process to create our first Marker based WebAR campaign today within Marvin XR studio.
If you haven't signed up to Marvin XR studio, do it here.
Once logged in, click on the Create AR Campaign button:
Now you need to give a name to the AR campaign and select the option Marker-based AR
If you do not have a 3D model, you can directly click on create AR campaign button. Your Marker-based AR campaign will be created with default 3D model.
Once you create the campaign, a default marker will be automatically created along with the campaign.
Now finally click on Create AR Campaign button. That's it! Congratulations!!!
Publishing your new WebAR campaign can take around 3-5 minutes.
Once your users start using it, you can see the LIVE updates in Dashboard menu.
Some Quick Tips:
Now lets access the marker-based AR campaign and see how we can upload a new 3D model.
You can find the new Marker-based AR in the dashboard now. Click on it.
This will open the campaign and land you in the AR show menu. You can scan the QR code from your mobile or click on the link to open the WebAR.
Now target your mobile camera to the marker on the right and see the 3D AR appearing - you have successfully created the Web AR campaign.
Note - We also provide web URL whitelisting option (contact us). That means you can use your choice of domain URL instead of default URL instead.
Let's put a new 3D model into the campaign. If you do not have one, no worries.
You can visit biggest 3D marketplace - Sketchfab
