Frequently Asked Questions
The metaio Creator is a software program allowing users to add digital, augmented reality content to an image or visual reference. Any image or printed material (photos, stickers, business cards, magazines, posters, newspapers, etc.) can be enhanced with digital content users can view or discover through the live-camera view of their mobile device.
Creating an AR project can be accomplished in minutes with three easy steps. First, load an image to track. Second, drag-and-drop your Augmented Reality content (image, video, sound, 3D model, button, link, etc.) onto the tracking image and adjust the placement of your AR content. Deploy your project and immediately view your experience in the Augmented Reality browser, junaio.
The tracking image will be automatically analyzed and optimized when loaded into the metaio Creator, and AR content will be compressed and reformatted to achieve the best performance.
The metaio Creator is fully integrated with the junaio Augmented Reality Cloud. This means that you can instantly upload and publish your AR project with a single click. If you want to host the data on your own FTP server you can use the advanced settings within the metaio Creator.
