Authoring Augmented Reality Experiences–What You Need to Get Started

To expand your company’s documentation delivery platforms to use Augmented Reality devices or tablets, your team will need new tools, processes and skills.  It may not seem like there are many tools available but, in fact, there are already dozens of viable solutions from which to choose (and more on the way). Existing information development procedures will need to be adjusted for the new tools and content. And, AR authoring will require developing new skills or bringing those who have the required skills into a team or department.

This webinar will introduce the common elements of AR experiences, the architecture of AR authoring systems, the typical workflow for developing AR experiences, and a framework for choosing the best AR experience authoring tools for project. It also suggests complementary tools and expertise your team should have before embarking on projects to present the right documentation to the right person at the right time and in context with the real world.

At the conclusion of this webinar attendees will be able to:

  • Identify the required and optional components of AR experiences.
  • Choose the best AR authoring tool for the project.
  • Recruit AR engineers with the skills necessary for successful AR projects or develop those skills.
  • Modify internal documentation project procedures to include AR experience development.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do education events take place?

Webinars are held every Wednesday afternoon from 2-3 PM EDT/EST (GMT-4/5).

A majority of online courses are held Tuesdays-Thursdays between 10:00 AM-1:00 PM EDT/EST (GMT-4/5), as to not conflict with webinar times.

When will I receive the Adobe Connect instructions for an event?

Registered attendees will receive the Adobe Connect instructions three (3) hours before the webinar begins, approximately at 11:00 AM EDT/EST.

Registered attendees will receive the Adobe Connect instructions one (1) day before the online course begins.

To participate in a webinar and an online course, you must be able to access Adobe Connect, STC’s online meeting space. You can test your Adobe Connect connection here. Adobe Connect is a standard web seminar tool (no separate download required) and all you need is a reliable Internet connection and phone line, or a computer with VoIP capabilities.

I registered for an online course, what are my next steps?

Once you register for an online course, you will receive a confirmation receipt that day. A majority of our online courses uses Moodle, STC’s course management site, which attendees will receive the login instructions two (2) days before the course begins.

If you cannot access Adobe Connect and/or Moodle (as needed), then you will not be able to successfully complete an online course.

I registered for a webinar, but will be unable to attend. Will a recording be available?

If a registered attendee is unable to attend a webinar that day, they will receive an email with a link to the recording, and an evaluation link along with the PDF of the presentation.

I registered for a webinar and/or an online course, but cannot attend at that time. Will I receive a refund?

If a registered attendee is unable to attend a webinar and/or an online course, the cost is transferable to a future event, but is not refundable. Online registration closes one-two business days before the education event begins.

I want to take a specific course that isn't listed online. Will it be offered in the future?

STC rotates its courses every year as we try to offer the most popular ones within the first half of the year. Online courses are subject to change or are offered more than once per quarter. If a course is not listed, STC will offer it again in the following year.
