With Metaverse, it has never been this easy to create your own AR game.
The platform gives users a web-based tool for building interactive AR experiences, with no coding knowledge necessary. It is completely free and offers a variety of ways to get learners engaged and involved. Via a link or QR code, users can then share their project with others, who can view in AR through the Metaverse browser app for iOS or Android. AR experiences in Metaverse are comprised of scenes. The scene can be as simple as a dialog box with a picture, which users can upload. Metaverse supports 3D models, which can be imported from outside sources such as Sketchfab and Google Poly. YouTube videos, 360-degree photos and videos are also among the scene options. Scenes can also ask for user input, such as pressing one or more action buttons, taking a picture or entering text. Some ways you can use Metaverse is creating 360° expeditions, photo walls, interactive stories, AR scavenger hunts, digital breakouts, interactive memes and much more.
First, you’ll need both the free app and a free account on the
website.
Here’s how you start:
1. Log in using your Facebook account or your email address.
2. Download the app to your phone, tablet, or Chromebook. You don’t use it to create the experience, just to enjoy it.
3. Enter your Metaverse Studio and click ‘Create experience’. Projects are called ‘experiences’ and the workspace is called a storyboard.
4. Follow prompts to design the experience using Metaverse’s large collection of free images (3D and 2D). Your experience can include 360˚ images, videos, polls, device cameras, sounds, questions, text, point systems, and more.
5. Once the experience is completed, publish to Facebook, Twitter, an LMS, or share the link. You also get a QR code to activate it.
6. You can choose to allow cloning or sharing with the public in the Metaverse Universe.
7. There is an advanced option for embedding the experience in your own apps using an API code.
8. Once the Experience is published, anyone with the Metaverse app can view your experience. The easiest way is to scan the QR code which will activate the experience on the Metaverse app.
