Introduction
The AR-media platform is a general purpose Augmented & Virtual Reality authoring platform, as such it is made of different components:
- AR-media Studio: The web authoring tool used to create, manage and distribute your projects
- AR-media Plugins: The interface with 3rd party’s digital content creation software
- AR-media Players: The mobile players for iOS and Android devices used to display projects
The typical workflow for creating an Augmented or Virtual Reality experience is as follows:
- Create the content: (3D models, images, videos, …) using your preferred content creation software
- Import the content: either manually into the AR-media Studio web application, or automatically using any of the available AR-media Plugins
- Distribute the content: use the AR-media Studio web application to publish a project or make it available privately to selected users that can view it using the AR-media Player mobile app
In the following sections you will be introduced to the main concepts and features of the AR-media Platform to get started with the authoring of Augmented and Virtual Reality experiences.
