The AR Text app allows you to create and display texts in Augmented Reality. A 3D preview of your creation is visible before starting your AR modeling. Your 3D texts are fully customizable with 155 fonts and a full color palette. Each of your AR creations is stored in the app and is then easily accessible or editable. Start impressing your friends by sending them your creations in photo, video or directly in AR to immerse them with your messages! Developed in partnership with AR Code, you can within the application generate your Augmented Reality Codes for each of your creations. This code will allow you to easily share your AR creation or anchor them in places of your choice (room, showcase, product, ...). For the moment the generated 3D texts are limited to 15 characters to facilitate the 3D modeling process and limit the weight of your creations. To express your creativity without any limitation, you can also subscribe to the AR Text Premium offer for an unlimited AR modeling: AR Text Premium is a monthly recurring subscription.
