Help creating a walking tour using location specific experiences.

Hi,

 

In the introduction to Aero the page states:

"Location-based experiences allow you to anchor an AR experience to a specific GPS location."

 

found referenced on this Adobe page:

https://helpx.adobe.com/aero/how-to/augmented-reality-introduction-aero.html

 

I would like to use Aero to create a walking tour experience of our property(7 acres). What I have read about Aero seems to indicate this should be possible.

Where can I find tutorial/instruction on placing GPS specific events and connecting them as one big experience.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hi @Steven275178722ovu , Aero does not currently have GPS mechanisms built in, but we are working on that. Today, you can use your favorite maps platform and put an Aero experience link tied to map markers on the preferred GPS coordinates.

You can create the same, perhaps even better tour, using the AERO with the Google Geospatial Creator integration.  You need a special version of AERO beta to do this.  Go to youtube, search for Google Geosptial Creator.  WAtch the video.  If you follow the links in the description/comments area, it will lead you to the sign form to get access to this version of AERO.  (FYI: the GGC integration has been down this week and is not working).

Is Aero dead? Adobe has not released any updates and shared links still do not work. The bug was reported a year ago.

...fast forward and no updates....in true Adobe style lol...Im just testing the geo AR and without a way to manually add GPS locations or any manual locations it's kind of a nice toy....Adobe anything to add? Any roadmap for Geo AR? Thx

Is there an update on this? It's kind of a shame that this is mentioned as a feature in multiple places but not implemented. It's kind of the whole reason I'd want to use AR for anything.

To my knowledge Apple Reality Composer offers the option to link / anchor AR experiences to a geo location (latitude, longitude and altitude) - It would be immensly helpful if Adobe Aero offered a similar option, as this would enable creators to built better location based experiences.

Hi All, Geolocation is a big topic and one we are discussing. It's on our radar, and I will update you as I can on this direction. Thanks

@Steven275178722ovu I'm working on something similar at the moment. My strategy is to create image anchors on the surface that the viewing will take place to somewhat create a gps like experience.

I was thinking of this as a plan. Have you tried this approach yet? I wanted to have a expereince in a particular space at the building in work. So was going to put an image in receprtion which would trigger the AR. I wanted to have a number of objects appear on the ceiling of the room, that is what I was not quite sure was possible. How far away from the image, can the AR Objects appear e.g. if the image was on the reception desk, can the AR objects be places all around the ceiling of the room?

Perhaps by any chance could you give a brief description on how to achieve that?
