01Welcome to Artivive

New to Artivive? This short introduction shows you what augmented reality is and what you can create with it. The perfect place to start before you dive into your first artwork.

02First Steps with AR: Make Your Project in 30 Seconds

The fastest way to your first AR experience. Upload a trigger image, add a video, and publish, all in under a minute, directly in the Artivive Editor (Bridge).

03Step-by-Step: How to Create Augmented Reality Art

A complete walkthrough of the creation process, from choosing a good trigger image to adding your digital content and previewing the result before you share it.

04How to Use the Artivive App

The Artivive app lets your audience view AR experiences, and lets you test and optimise your own artworks. Learn how to scan trigger images and use AR Mode to fine-tune your creations in real time.

05WebAR: Augmented Reality Without an App

WebAR lets your audience experience augmented reality straight from a browser, with no app to download. Point a phone at a poster, package or wall and it comes alive. Ideal for exhibitions, print and packaging.

06Timeline: Create Animated AR Art

The Timeline feature gives you precise control over your animations, deciding exactly when and how each layer appears, moves, rotates and scales. Works with images, video, text, 3D objects and grouped layers.

07Sequences: Build Interactive AR

Sequences let you create multi-step, interactive experiences that react like a "choose your own adventure" story, all built inside the Artivive Editor. Guide your audience from one scene to the next.

08How to Optimize Image Recognition

Reliable AR starts with a good trigger image. This tutorial shows how to choose and prepare high-contrast, detailed images so your artworks are recognised quickly and consistently.

093D Audio Layer

Add spatial sound to your AR scene. The 3D Audio Layer lets you place audio in space and adjust how it behaves as your audience moves around the experience.

10Particle Effect Layer

Bring your scenes to life with dynamic particles, from falling snow to sparks and magic effects, adding movement and atmosphere to your augmented reality artworks.
