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.

Plain Language Authoring

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.
