FASTER WORKFLOWS FOR AR DEVELOPMENT
Faster workflows for AR development
Accelerate content workflows with intuitive creation features:
- Plain-language authoring reduces coding needs
- Test your app in the Unity Editor against a variety of environments
- Templates help you get started more quickly
Use your mobile device for AR authoring
The AR Companion app enhances Unity Mars workflows by:

Key features
Plain-language authoring
The rules workflow describes AR layouts and behaviors in plain language. Rules allow you to set conditions or actions for surfaces and objects, reducing the amount of code required to build your app.
Proxy-based workflow
Build your app with proxies that represent real-world objects. With a framework in place, you set conditions and actions on your proxies to tell the app how to respond to them.
Simulate in the Editor
Use simulation environments to test your app within the Editor in order to spot issues and cut down on iteration time.
