Introducing Adobe Aero, the most intuitive way to view, create, and share immersive and interactive AR experiences.

Principal functions
- Expand your creative canvas: Send concepts and prototypes to clients by putting your work before their eyes. Create a scene quickly by contributing 3D models and 2D assets from Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Dimension, Substance, and third-party applications like Cinema 4D. Aero automatically optimizes your assets for AR.
- Get to create and open new paths: Anchor your project in your physical space, and place objects and sizes as you wish. With intuitive tools and menus, you can add interactivity and customize behaviors so that the experience flows the way you imagine.
- Fusion of reality, an exciting experience — Aero adds a new dimension to the way designers tell stories. Bring museum sculptures to life. Orbit a rocket around your classroom. Or take your pets or celebrities to a retail store. Audiences can experiment with your ideas like never before.
- Smart lighting for real results: Adobe's machine learning technology mimics real lighting on objects without the need for complex models or time-consuming manual renderings. With the right lighting, it's easy to turn your fusion of digital experiences into reality.
- Easier interactivity: Add triggers like start, touch, and proximity to initiate actions for your assets. Then assign associated behaviors like animation, spin, and bounce to bring your experiences to life.
- Publish and share with one click: Share your experience with your colleagues and clients or post it on social networks with a link or video capture of your illustration. Anyone can get the free Aero app and dive into your world of AR.
