In recent years, augmented reality (AR) has captured the imagination of event organizers and participants alike, revolutionizing the way we experience digital interactions. Companies like Apple and Meta have heavily invested in AR technology, recognizing its potential to enhance user engagement and create memorable experiences. At Mooveteam, we have embraced this trend by integrating AR into our platform. Originally available only on iOS in our legacy mooveTEAM app, AR functionality is now accessible on both Android and iOS devices with MooveXR. This advancement allows event managers to create more dynamic and interactive experiences in an accessible manner.
File Format and Model Integration
Our application utilizes the glb/gltf (Graphics Library Transmission Format or GL Transmission Format) for incorporating 3D objects. This file format is renowned for its efficiency and compatibility, ensuring high-quality rendering and smooth performance across different devices. Event organizers can upload these 3D models via our user-friendly interface, making it easy to integrate them into their events.
Physical Size of the Object
The physical size of the object must be specified in meters or centimeters to ensure accurate representation in the AR space. For instance, “The box has a size of 50cm x 50cm”. Specifying the dimensions helps in maintaining the real-world scale and enhances the immersion of the AR experience.
Creating Engaging Experiences
Augmented reality transforms the way participants interact with their environment, creating a “wow” effect that event managers strive for. By integrating 3D interactions, you can immerse participants in a virtual world that enhances the overall experience. From virtual scavenger hunts to interactive product showcases, the possibilities are endless. These AR elements not only captivate participants but also promote engagement and participation, leading to memorable events.
Accessing 3D Models
To assist event creators, here are some recommended sources for obtaining both free and paid 3D models:
- Sketchfab: Offers a wide range of glb models, both free and paid. Note that some free models may require credit attribution.
- TurboSquid: Provides a vast selection of high-quality 3D models suitable for various themes and applications.
- Polycam: Features glTF models, with options for both free and premium downloads.
These platforms allow event creators to find models that align with the thematic elements of their events. Once downloaded, these models can be easily uploaded to the MooveXR back office.
Recommended Configuration
To ensure that 3D models are correctly positioned and oriented in the AR space, follow these guidelines:
- Position: Set X: 0, Y: 0, Z: -1 (this places the object 1 meter in front of the camera).
- Rotation: Set X: 0, Y: 180, Z: 0 (this orients the object towards the camera).
- Scale: Set X: 1, Y: 1, Z: 1 (maintains the original size of the model).
These settings will help ensure that your 3D objects are properly aligned and enhance the AR experience for participants.
Future Developments and Custom Solutions
We are continuously working on enhancing our AR capabilities. Future updates may include real-time AR gameplay, such as setting up virtual boards where participants can interact and move elements dynamically. If you have a special project that requires custom AR functionalities, our team is here to help. We are committed to providing top-notch technology and support, enabling our partners to deliver the best experiences to their clients.
