Use Apple’s Reality Composer app to construct your own 3D compositions for augmented reality. Create virtual elements using a library of customisable assets, or import your own original assets. Add animations and sounds that can be triggered by user taps, light or proximity, as well as behaviours powered by physics simulation.
Create a new project. Tap Create Document Create Document button, and tap the Horizontal anchor to place your object on. A cube will appear in your workspace.
Clear the workspace. Tap the cube to select it, tap it again, then tap Delete. Do the same with the blue text label to remove it.
Choose an object. Tap Add Object button and select a shape from the Content Library.
Add a look. Tap the object, then adjust the object’s position, rotation, scale, look and physics.
Add a behaviour. Tap Behaviours button and tap Add Behaviour button.
Place in AR. Tap Enter Augmented Reality button and follow the onscreen instructions to place your object. Tap Play button to initiate the scene, then tap the object to trigger the behaviour.
Share your scene. Tap More button, tap Export Export button, then choose a sharing option.
Make a virtual prototype. Import a 3D model for a student invention, customise the look and behaviours of the object, then place it on a surface in AR to present how the invention looks and sounds in physical space.
Explore the physics and interactivity of 3D objects by constructing a mechanical experiment in AR. Include behaviours to represent forces and friction, then introduce other physical factors, like density, weight, time and gravity.
