Assemblr Studio

Technology advancements have made augmented reality possible, making it easy for anyone with a device to enjoy the benefits brought about by animating virtual objects in the real world through their smartphones. The AR interactivity is cool and useful, and you've probably wondered how such a thing gets to be made.

Dedicated software to create AR projects exists, allowing you to make your own without much fuss. Assemblr Studio is a program provided free of charge that gives users the possibility to create projects as complex as their creativity allows.

Users shouldn't have any problems attuning to this software. The installation process is smooth, and upon starting the app, you'll notice that the interface is minimalist, yet functional, with everything laid out in an intuitive manner.

As such, navigating through the program becomes second-nature after a short while. 3D Object contains various items to add to your project, and there's no shortage of them: introduce signs and symbols, furniture, animals, vehicles, and even dinosaurs and cartoon characters. There's much more than that, but it's best left for everyone to explore.

If that's not enough, you can add your own custom 3D objects through the Import menu — only .fbx files are accepted.

What's more, you can also include text and images in your project. Everything is resizable and malleable, so you can tweak the proportions in any way you want.

An interesting feature of this tool is that it offers users the option to add videos to their creation. The videos can be added through YouTube, with users having to specify the video's URL as the source. They can also loop and autoplay it, as well as introduce a green-screen, which makes the clip transparent.

When it comes to exporting, interacting with the Publish button does the trick. Your creation will be accessible via the Assemblr Mobile app, which means that you can view it from your iOS or Android device. If you'd prefer not to download the app, you can use the generated publish link and view your AR creation directly from your mobile browser.

Assemblr Studio is quite exciting to use. It provides so many functions, which make creating AR content a breeze. It's easy to get started, and with everything being free, there's virtually no reason not to try it if augmented reality is up your alley.
