Hi,
It's been a couple years since I last tried AERO and I am really pleased with how far it has come. LOVE that we can now publish to IOS and Android now via app clips/instant apps - this is critical for our customers and projects. This alone now makes AERO a viable alternative to 8th Wall for our simple lenses. Also VERY excited and pleased with the incorporation of Google Geospatial feature. We do ALOT of location-based AR with visual positioning systems. When coupled with your app clip capabilities, this will drive us to start using AERO for our customer projects more or more.
That said, there are a few key feature requests that would expedite bringing AERO more inline with other comparable platforms (Lens Studio, Spark AR, 8th Wall, Unity AR foundation, etc) and make it a more appealing and viable option for our customers and projects. (If these features are already available and I am missing them, please point me in the right direction).
In order of priority below. Thanks for your consideration.
1. Add a finger tip drag trigger in editor (so we can set up to allow mobile end users to move an object after they have placed it - in lieu of having to go to the mobile end user hamburger menu and "relocate" - this is not intuitive for users and is different from most other competing AR platforms).
2. Add a finger pinch trigger in editor (so we can set up to allow mobile end users to scale the objects they have placed)
3. Add the ability for us to add in-screen text in editor (for user instructions, customer hashtags etc.
4. Add ability for sequential triggers (i.e. ability to use tap 2, 3 etc times in series to trigger different actions)
5. When using Geospatial capability with multiple objects - allow us to select different anchor points for each object - currently only have "snap to ground" option and seems to be univeral for everything in the scene. Being able to set some objects to ground, while others are set to roof or certain altitude would be very helpful.
6. Add image tracking + SLAM capability so that object doesn't have to be directly on top of image and doesn't disappear if you take camera off of image.
7. Pipe dream request (for google): real world environmental occlusion based on fixed environment (ex: buildings). Yes we can make occluder objects, but in practice: getting these to align with the real world is VERY difficult. Dynamic occlusion of people, trees, cars, etc. would be nice too.
