\"Reality<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Augmented reality (or AR) is when we add our own objects to a real life scene, usually with the iPhone or iPad’s camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smash hit Pokemon game made AR a household term, where you could wander around and discover Pokemon hidden in plain sight, if you used the app to wander around your environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We explore a variety of tools and environments for creating our own augmented reality scenes. Some of them will be code-heavy, others more drag and drop. But all of them will let you explore this new creative outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We start with AR Makr<\/a>, an excellent app for visual storytelling. Then we spend a bit of time with Reality Composer<\/a>, an app from Apple for building out scenes to place in our own environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s see what you can create with AR!<\/p>\n\n\n
