About this session

Participants will first set up a github repository and netlify site. They will then follow along with a series of gradually more sophisticated exercises starting with a simple cube, adding a gltf object, adding animation, generating and using custom markers, and using multiple markers.

Goals of this session

This is an Arts and Culture submission to teach participants how to use the popular open source A-Frame and AR.js libraries to create AR postcards for cultural heritage objects.

An example of postcards we have made using this method: https://vimeo.com/298873547
