Using the Editor

Using the Creator Portal Studio to modify the ARway map

Content Types

To anchor virtual content to your map, simply choose your content type from the top menu and use the editor controls to adjust its position, rotation, and scale. ARway supports the following file types for upload:

• 3D models (.glb) with a file size limit of 10MB

• Images (.png, .jpg, .jpeg) with a file size limit of 3MB

• Videos (.mp4) with a file size limit of 12MB

• Audio files (.mp3, .wav, .m4a, .ogg) with a file size limit of 3MB

• Floorplans (.png, .jpg, .jpeg) with a file size limit of 3MB

You can also add hotspots (hyperlinks) to your map for a more interactive experience.

Images

To anchor virtual content to your map, select the content type from the top menu. To add images, select the "Image" option and choose from an existing recently uploaded image or upload a new image (.png, .jpg, .jpeg). Once created, position the image in the 3D environment with reference to your floor plan and mapping path for accurate placement.

Text

To anchor 3D text to your map, select the "Text" option from the left menu. Fill in the required fields for text and text color, and position the text in the 3D environment with reference to your floor plan and mapping path for accurate placement.

Audio

To anchor an audio note to your map, select the audio content type from the top menu and choose to upload your own audio file or add an existing audio clip. You can toggle on autoplay for the audio clip to trigger when a user is near the virtual prompt. Position the audio clip in the 3D environment with reference to your floor plan and mapping path for accurate placement.

Hotspot

To anchor a hotspot to your map, select the "Hotspot" from the top menu. Fill in the required text fields for title and description, and optionally add a hyperlink attached to your hotspot. Position the hotspot in the 3D environment with reference to your floor plan and mapping path for accurate placement.

3D Models

To anchor a 3D model to your map, simply select your desired model from the existing library or upload your own 3D model (.glb file format). Once added, transform, rotate, and scale the 3D model within the map as you’d like with reference to the floor plan and mapping path for accurate placement.

Location Pins

Add your location pins in the creator portal by right-clicking on the space you want to place the pin. Create a name and description attached to your location pins to describe its whereabouts. Once added, the location pins can be viewed and interacted with in a dropdown menu for the end-user.

Guided Tours

Create a guided tour in the creator portal and customize the experience with multi-color selection. Once created, the guided tour will appear on the spatial map for the end-user as a life-scale virtual pathway.

Map Options

Users can save their progress or publish their map for others to scan using the "Save" or "Publish Map" button located at the top right. The "Scene Options" and "View Options" buttons in the bottom left allow the user to toggle the visibility of the map content and content types. On the bottom right, the three-axis indicator is used to show the current orientation of the camera viewing the map.
