How we set up your AR experience

When you create a new wiarframe, you’ll pick a Scene Type, which we use to control the scaling and positioning of your AR scene. Currently, we support two types, Table Top & Room.

Table Top

A table top experience…

  • can be placed on any horizontal surface
  • its size is scaled to match the surface size
  • and its position is moved to the center on the surface

Table tops work best for experiences like games and interactive stories, as you can reuse the same experience on any size of surface, from a small coffee table to a boardroom table.

Room

A room experience…

  • is placed on the floor
  • its size is constant — specified in meters
  • its position is centred from the user’s position
  • and it is grounded to the floor

Room experiences work best went you want the user to move around, for example, way-finding. They work well with proximity-based interactions.
