MP AR is a go-anywhere do-everything motion control robotics tool. Pre-viz: Visualize your robots on location with built-in IK. The 1:1 robot model will move to the position in your space so you can see if it fits and how the move will take place. Design Moves: Use recorded or keyframed move types to design out and test any idea you have in your head inside a real-world environment. Include importing of USDZ AR objects. Playback: Playback your moves in-app to see what the moving path looks like and how the robot will move inside your location. Export: Export your move to MP Studio software to run directly on the robot after the move is exported. You can also export a clip to share via Imessage or email to your clients or as a reference of the shot.
