Adding a 3D Model
Once your register to the echoAR platform, you can add content by clicking the “Add To Cloud” button.
You can upload your own models and also use the search bar to find free 3D models that you can instantly add to the console.
Using the WebAR Customizer

Note that this feature is only available to enterprise clients.
Setting a Background Image
Use the Background card to set a background image for the webAR experience. Click the “upload” button and choose an image file (.png or .jpg) or an HDR file (.hdr).
Note that the image will only appear in the preview screen prior to clicking the “See in AR” button.
Adding Audio
Use the Audio card to add an audio file to serve as background music for the webAR experience. Audio will only start playing after a user interaction of any type (screen touch gesture, click, etc.).
Click the “upload” button and choose an audio file (.mp3 or .wav). You can also toggle the audio on and off by clicking the Audio card.
Including Camera Capture Functionality
Use the Camera card to include a camera capture button in the webAR experience. It will allow viewers to grab a snapshot of the AR scene. You can toggle the camera capture on and off by clicking the Camera card.
Adding Buttons, Actions, and a Logo
Use the Button and Logo card to introduce clickable buttons, actions, and your own logo to the WebAR experience.
You can set up to nine (9) UI elements on screen at once (on the top right corner, top center, top left corner, middle right, center, middle left, bottom right corner, bottom center, and/or bottom left corner).
See all the button type options here.
Viewing Click Analytics and Click-through-Rates
