In recent years, it may be known to all that apple releases new products, will give AR models on the official website, and then use iPhone or iPad to preview AR. For example, a vertical phone is typical:

I believe everyone is numb, this is just so, can only look at it. Here’s how to use AR to experience the iPhone 12 Pro! Only 4 steps, all operations do not need to write any code, and most of the main operations can be done on iPhone/iPad, this article to better effect, more convenient operation, all the operations on the Macbook as an example.

Prepare USDZ document

Where can I find a new model? Of course, go to the official website of Apple, because the phone will automatically add. Zip suffix after downloading the USDZ file, it is difficult to remove, so I suggest using MAC to download.

Open the official websiteIPhone 12 Pro Introduction page, right click – Check elements – Search – USDz

Use RealityConverter for image replacement

This step, which mainly replaces the content on the AR model’s screen, can be skipped by the iPhone because it can only be done on a computer.

Prepare appropriate picture cards

The essence of getting started, in fact, is to use the image tracking function of AR to bind the AR model to the picture, and then get the picture in your hand, just like getting the phone in your hand. So, we need to find a card and take a picture of it.

Pictures need to be the right size, rich in color and clear in texture. It is better to be slightly smaller than the AR model to avoid the AR effect.

Unable to find a suitable card, we had to take a disinfecting paper towel to make do. After you’ve taken a picture, it’s best to simply process it, correct the perspective distortion, and the iPhone comes with an album that you can edit.

Simple fusion with Reality Composer

Next, open Reality Composer, which is a separate App for the iPhone and built into Xcode for the MAC. Select “Image”, import the picture, and the actual size of the picture:

Then import the AR model and change the model position and orientation:

All right, so the AR model fits nicely into the picture.

Import the phone for preview

Next, sharing the phone will automatically open in the mobile version of Reality Composer:
