Introducing 8th Wall’s Cloud Editor & Built-in Hosting

Cloud Editor and Hosting allows users to create, collaborate on and instantly publish WebAR projects.

It’s finally time for us to share what we’ve been busy working on and we couldn’t be more excited!

We spent the past year listening to you on how we could make creating WebAR faster, easier and more collaborative. With Release 13 we are debuting an all-in-one platform to create, collaborate and publish augmented reality projects to the web. No third party software, server setup or outside tools required. Just log in, code and click publish.

Create WebAR experiences anywhere you are

The Cloud Editor is a single place to create WebAR projects anywhere, at any time and on any device. And we mean literally any device, even an iPad! It features a fully-featured text editor, an asset viewer, developer keybindings and supports popular frameworks such as A-Frame, Babylon.js, Three.js, React and Vue.js.

Fully-featured text editor for creating and editing WebAR projects in real time.

Our sample projects in Github have been an extremely popular way for many of you to learn and quickly start a WebAR project⁠ — so much so that we loaded them directly into the editor to make it even easier to select and edit them to start building your own.

8th Wall Templates allow you to get started on your next WebAR project even faster.

And with the ability to wirelessly debug your code in real time, you can view instant previews of your most recent changes, making testing and troubleshooting your WebAR projects a breeze.

Debug your code wirelessly in real time.

Collaborate with teams of unlimited size

WebAR projects don’t need to be a lonely experience. The Cloud Editor supports team members of unlimited size working together on the same project at the same time.

Invite unlimited team members to your workspace to collaborate on projects.

8th Wall’s distributed source control lets you review incoming changes, resolve conflicts and view diffs before landing. Compare commits over time with a full diff view and current client status.

Review incoming changes from teammates and resolve merge conflicts before landing.

Publish your WebAR projects instantly

One of the biggest benefits of our platform is that there is no need to worry about setting up servers to test and launch your projects. With Built-In Hosting, 8th Wall’s got you covered with different environments including a password-protected staging.

Instantly publish your AR project to the web.

For experiences that require their own domain, we can handle that too. Custom domains can easily be attached to live projects right in the settings.

Ability to connect your own domain to any project.
