Augmented Reality (AR)

In the Presentation tab (Share group), upload content for viewing in AR (short for augmented reality) with a click. AR files are suitable for Android and iOS devices. Then, transfer the export files to your smartphone. AR files can also be sent or linked in a presentation.

Note: Your mobile device must be AR capable and on Android you may need to install an AR viewer app.
