Adobe Aero

Augmented reality. Now a reality.

Introducing Adobe Aero, the most intuitive way to view, build, and share immersive and interactive AR experiences. Design and share augmented reality experiences using assets you’ve created in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and more. With Adobe Aero, you can blur the lines between the physical and digital worlds—no complex coding required. 

 


Key features

  • Expand your creative canvas—Pitch concepts and prototypes to clients by putting your work right in front of them. Quickly build a scene by bringing in 3D models and 2D assets from Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Dimension, Substance 3D, and third-party apps like Cinema 4D. Aero automatically optimizes your assets for AR.
  • Build it out and break new ground—Anchor your project to your physical space, and then position objects and size them as desired. With intuitive menus and tools, you can add interactivity and customize behaviors so the experience flows just the way you envision it.
  • Reality blending, mind bending—Aero adds a whole new dimension to the way designers tell stories. Make museum sculptures come to life. Send a rocket into orbit around your classroom. Or bring mascots and celebrities right into a retail store. Audiences can experience your ideas like never before.

 

  • Intelligent lighting for real-world results—Adobe machine learning technology mimics real-world lighting on objects without the need for complex models or time-consuming manual rendering. With the right lighting, it’s easy to make your digital experience blend into reality.
  • Interactivity made easy—Add triggers such as start, touch, and proximity to initiate actions for your assets. Then assign associated behaviors such as animate, spin, and bounce to bring your experiences to life.
  • Click. Publish. Share—Aero offers multiple options for crafting, sharing, and viewing AR experiences. Create in the app, capture a video for sharing on social, and send a link that lets anyone view it in augmented reality on iOS. Aero also lets you export and share a .real file containing all the interactive behaviors.
