AR (Augmented Reality) 

AR (iOS only) provides an exciting way to explore your 3D scenes and shoot eye-catching movies and videos.

With AR, a scene's environment is replaced with your real environment by the camera on your iPad or iPhone. AR lets you see your Movie Maker 3D virtual scenes in the real world.

Tap the AR button to see your scene in AR mode, then tap the Record button to Shoot an AR video of the scene or take an AR photo of the scene (both iOS only) .

Move your device around to detect a horizontal surface to see your scene in AR. For example:

  • Explore a virtual campsite scene placed on your real desk.

  • Show avatars in your actual kitchen.

  • Place a virtual backyard scene with the swimming pool, grill and toys in your own real yard.

  • Place a virtual concert stage scene including avatar actors, picnic tables and seats on the real grass in your local park.
