How to Create AR Content with Geospatial Creator

Here are best practices for creating your first piece of AR content.

  • Create content that serves your audience - wherever they are

    Whether helpful or delightful, be clear on the impact your content should have - and tailor it depending on whether your audience is onsite or remote.

  • Personalize your content - tailor to the location, be timely with the context and deliver clear value for your users.

  • Think carefully about where your audience will launch the content and choose a location where they will be able to safely engage without restrictions.

  • Minimize complexity, keep interactions intuitive and build experiences that are highly social and shareable.

  • Test and learn - and encourage new behaviors

    Build a content feedback loop by measuring success and think about how best to drive repeat engagement with regularly refreshed content.
