Apple Reality Composer
Reality Composer for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS makes it easy to build, test, tune, simulate, and export AR experiences for iPhone or iPad.
In Reality Composer you can add animations to your 3D models that let you move, scale, and add emphasis like a “wiggle” or “spin” to virtual objects. You can choose for actions to happen when a user taps an object, comes in close proximity to it, or activates some other trigger. You can also take advantage of spatial audio to add a new level of reality to your AR scene. Reality Composer exports to USDZ with all of these effects and interactive behaviors packaged in.
In Foveate, you can attach a custom USDZ to your Foveate scene so that when an iOS user clicks the AR icon they will be served your uploaded USDZ instead of the default generated USDZ. Learn more about Reality Composer here.
