Ho-ho-ho! There’s not much time left until Christmas celebrations. That means it’s time to add augmented reality to your merchandise or gifts.

Ho-ho-ho! There's not much time left until Christmas celebrations. That means it's time to add augmented reality to your merchandise or gifts.

Give your users a unique and memorable experience that will engage participants, trigger their imagination, and leave a lasting impression.

While this guide uses a Halloween-themed project as an example, the same steps can be followed to create your magical Christmas AR experience.

1. Choose your type of tracking

This time I recommended using Image Tracking. This type of tracking allows you to integrate different packaging.

2. Upload the marker

If you can’t find exactly the same image of your packaging, you can simply take a picture and upload it.

After uploading the marker, check the lights’ recourses. In case if your project opens without lighting, add Directional light and Ambient light.

3. Let the fun begin!

It’s time to choose 3D models for your project. This is my personal tips on how to find the idea and 3D models for it:

  • Discover the marker. Maybe some details from your packaging can be used in 3D?
  • Don’t forget about your global idea. If you are creating a project for Halloween, find some special 3D models like pumpkins, monsters, vampires, and so on.

Where to find 3D models?

  • MyWebAR library
  • Create your own on Blender
  • Sketchfab library

4. Adding 3D models

Where are 2 ways how to add 3D models from the Sketchfab:

  • You can activate Sketchfab plugin on your MyWebAR account and add models without downloading them.
  • You can open Sketchfab in another window, find models, download them and after upload to the MyWebAR account.

For the projects with special effects (plugins) I reccomended to download models and after upload them to your account.

This time I will add few simple models and few animated.

Models from MyWebAR library:

  • Spider ‘Black Widow’
  • Ant

Models from Sketchfab:

While your 3D models are upleading, always choose optimized model. It will safe your project’s store and make your project faster at the opening.

5. Making a scene

Don’t forget to put 3D models in the right place, to make the scene be more beautiful and aesthetic. Decide which 3D model will be the main, and put in the best place on your marker.

6. Adding an Occlusion

The occlusion plugin will help your 3D models be more sustainable. It is necessary if you are using two or more models and effects.

7. General Settings

One more important thing – your project name and URL. You can easily change it in Settings. Make your project name logical and easy to write, in case you can’t copy the URL address.

8. Share and have fun!

The project is ready! It’s time to share the QR code, and film videos for social media and tag @mywebar account!

Happy Holidays! 🎄

HOW TO: Create an AR try-on with the new Sunglasses Slider plugin https://mywebar.com/blog/how-to-create-an-ar-try-on-with-the-new-sunglasses-slider-plugin/ Thu, 28 Aug 2025 20:47:42 +0000 https://mywebar.com/?p=5088

Buying glasses online is tough without a fitting room. That’s why we built Sunglasses Slider: a simple WebAR try-on that lets people flip through several frames in seconds and see what actually fits. It runs in the browser, so no apps, no special setup.

What you’ll prepare

You’ll need four lightweight 3D models of sunglasses in .glb format and four matching thumbnails (one per model). If you’re just experimenting, grab sample models on Sketchfab. Keep files light so phones don’t freeze.

Step 1—collect the 3D models

Head to Sketchfab, search for sunglasses, and download four models in .glb. Name them clearly: classic_black.glb, retro_tortoise.glb, sport_mirrored.glb, etc. 

Step 2—make the thumbnails

Open a web viewer like glTF Viewer. Load each .glb, rotate to a flattering angle, take a screenshot, and save as 512×512 PNG or JPG. Name them to match the models, e.g., classic_black_thumb.png.

Step 3 — create a project in MyWebAR

Log in, click Create Project, and choose the tracking type Face Filters and Effects. Open the editor. Face tracking will place frames on the head automatically, so you don’t have to line anything up by hand.

Step 4—add the plugin

In the left sidebar, open Extensions, find Sunglasses Slider, and install it. Then go to Objects and press “+” to add the plugin to your scene.

Step 5—set up the slider

For each slide, upload the .glb model and the matching thumbnail. Do this for all four frames. When everything looks right, click Save Configuration.

Step 6—publish and try it on

Click Publish to go live. Open the link on a phone and test like a real customer: switch between frames, check the fit, and see how it behaves in different lighting.

Here’s an example you can explore:

https://mywebar.com/p/Project_0_ki7txkwo8y

Why teams like this flow

It works in any modern mobile browser, there’s no code to write, and swapping models or thumbnails takes minutes. Shoppers can compare several frames quickly, which reduces second-guessing and speeds up decisions.

Quick fixes if something feels off

If a model looks huge or tiny, re-export the GLB with the right scale and try again. If materials look wrong, make sure textures are packed into the GLB. If older phones stutter, simplify geometry or reduce texture sizes.

That’s the whole setup. Four models, four thumbnails, one publish. You’ve got a clean AR try-on that feels natural and is easy to maintain.

HOW TO Build an AR Scene with Spatial Tracking on MyWebAR https://mywebar.com/blog/how-to-build-an-ar-scene-with-spatial-tracking-on-mywebar/ Mon, 02 Jun 2025 09:19:12 +0000 https://mywebar.com/?p=4897

We are entering a new era of web-based augmented reality — where AR is no longer limited to printed pictures or QR codes, but instead flows freely through the spaces around us. This is where Spatial Tracking comes in.

With Spatial Tracking, your digital content no longer clings to a flat surface or a static marker. Instead, it wraps itself naturally around real-world objects — whether that’s a sculpture in a museum, a storefront facade, a giant machine, or a historic landmark. The technology recognises the three-dimensional shapes and features of the object, transforming it into an interactive AR anchor point.

This is more than just a technical upgrade. It’s a shift in mindset: AR is no longer something “added on top” — it’s something that integrates into the spaces we inhabit. AR becomes part of our cities, our businesses, our daily lives.

With that vision in mind, let’s walk through how to build your own Spatial Tracking project on MyWebAR, using a simple, no-code process.


Step 1 — Create your project

In the MyWebAR editor, click Create Project and select Spatial Tracking.
The system will generate a unique Scan Link (URL + QR code) — this is what you’ll use to scan and register your chosen object.


Step 2 — Open the scan link

On your smartphone, tap the URL or scan the QR.
A WebAR page will open directly in your browser — no app download required.


Step 3 — Start capturing

Follow the on-screen prompt:
“Point your camera over the object or area you’d like to augment and slowly move your phone from side to side to initialize capture.”

A red Record button will appear — tap it to begin.

Walk slowly along or around the object until the progress bar beneath the button turns orange, or ideally green.

Keep in mind:

  • Move smoothly, avoiding sudden jerks.
  • Keep your speed steady.
  • Make sure each new camera angle overlaps the previous one.
  • Pass over the same areas from different angles for a richer scan.
  • Work in a well-lit space for the best results.

Step 4 — Finish & Upload

Once the capture is complete, tap Finish Scan.
The system will automatically upload the data.


Step 5 — Refresh the editor

Back on desktop, reload your project.
You’ll now see a proxy model of your scanned object — this is your anchor for adding AR content.


Step 6 — Add your content

Drag and drop your creative assets into the scene:

  • 3D models
  • Images and GIFs
  • Videos
  • Audio clips
  • Interactive buttons

You can position, scale, rotate, and assign actions to each element.


Step 7 — Preview & Publish

Click Preview to test how your AR scene works live.
When you’re ready, hit Publish — and your original QR/URL will deliver the full AR experience to anyone who scans it.


Why this matters

Spatial Tracking is not just another feature; it’s a major leap forward for web AR. It means that digital layers can now wrap around physical objects in ways we once only imagined — anchored not to flat paper, but to real, textured, three-dimensional space.

With tools like MyWebAR, you don’t need coding skills, big budgets, or specialist hardware to tap into this power. Any brand, artist, museum, educator, or creator can now bring their physical world to life with digital experiences.

The future of AR isn’t just on screens. It’s all around us — and it’s ready for you to build.

How to Create an AR Project with a Cylindrical Marker https://mywebar.com/blog/how-to-create-an-ar-project-with-a-cylindrical-marker/ Wed, 30 Apr 2025 17:21:36 +0000 https://mywebar.com/?p=4863

AR has the power to turn everyday packaging — like drink cans, coffee cups, and bottles — into interactive experiences. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create an AR experience using a cylindrical marker — for example, the packaging of a drink can — with the AR on a Curved Image tracking feature on MyWebAR. Let’s get started.

Step 1: Create a new project with AR on a Curved Image Tracking

To begin, prepare your image. This should be a flat version of the cylindrical object’s surface.
In our case, we used the packaging of a drink can, prepared as a flat label design.

Then log into your MyWebAR account and click “Create new project”.
From the list of tracking types, choose “AR on a Curved Image”.

This tracking mode allows AR content to wrap around cylindrical shapes like cans and cups, ensuring a stable and immersive experience.


If your object is not a perfect cylinder — for example, a cup that’s wider at the top — use the “upper radius” and “lower radius” settings to adjust curvature and fit.

These options help the system accurately track conical shapes and ensure a smooth AR overlay.

Step 2: Add a 3D model to the marker

Once your marker is uploaded, it will appear in the editor as a 3D cylinder. Now, it’s time to bring it to life.

To add a 3D model:

  • Click “3D model” in the left-hand panel.
  • Click the “+” icon.
  • Scroll down and click “Upload”.
  • Upload your model in .glb format.

The model will appear in the center of your project, ready to be positioned on the curved surface.

Step 3: Position and scale the 3D model

Use the arrows to move the model around the cylinder and adjust its position.

To scale or rotate the object:

  • Use the controls in the right-hand properties panel.
  • Make sure the model wraps naturally around the curvature or sits exactly where you want it on the label.

This is where the magic happens — experiment with positioning until your object feels integrated with the packaging.

Step 4: Preview your project

Before publishing, click “Preview” in the top right corner of the editor.

This allows you to test how your project will look on a real device. You can rotate the virtual can and see how the AR model behaves.
If something looks off, adjust the position or scale of your 3D model until you’re happy with the result.

Step 5: Publish and share

When everything looks good, click “Publish” in the top right corner.

After a short load time, you’ll receive:

  • A link to your WebAR experience
  • A QR code you can download and place directly on packaging, POS displays, flyers, or anywhere else.

That’s it — your cylindrical AR project is live and ready to delight your users.

Why cylindrical AR experiences work so well

As we’ve explored in our guide to AR for takeaway packaging, cylindrical objects are everywhere — and they’re perfect for storytelling and gamified interaction.

From revealing hidden characters on collectible cans to turning a coffee cup into a daily horoscope or game, AR adds a layer of magic to otherwise static products.

By using MyWebAR’s ““AR on a Curved Imagetracking, you’re not just adding AR — you’re creating a reason for people to return, collect, share, and engage.

How to Add Augmented Reality to Your T-Shirt: A Beginner’s Guide https://mywebar.com/blog/how-to-add-augmented-reality-to-your-t-shirt/ Thu, 03 Oct 2024 13:46:46 +0000 https://mywebar.com/?p=4352

In September, India celebrates one of its most beloved holidays — Ganesha’s birthday. This festival, which lasts for 10 days, is marked with grand celebrations throughout the country. Inspired by the occasion, we decided to create something special: a t-shirt featuring Ganesha in augmented reality!

Step 1: Creating the Marker

To bring our t-shirt to life with AR, we first needed an image of Ganesha, which would serve as the marker for our project. For this, we asked ChatGPT to draw Ganesha in a naive style — a simple yet expressive form of art that brings out the fun, playful aspects of the deity.

Once our image was ready, it was time to prepare the AR project using MyWebAR.com.

Step 2: Creating AR with MyWebAR

Here’s a simple walkthrough on how you can add AR to your own merchandise:

  1. Find and download a 3D model of Ganesha.
    We used an existing 3D model of Ganesha to integrate into our AR scene.
  2. Search for the Abstract Visuals collection.
    MyWebAR offers a variety of effects. From this collection, choose the visual effects that match your project.
  3. Create an image project and add the marker.
    Use the image of Ganesha as the marker that will trigger the AR experience.
  4. Add the Ganesha model to the scene.
    Upload and place the 3D model in the AR environment.
  5. Adjust Ganesha’s position.
    Ensure that the 3D model fits well within the AR scene by adjusting its location and size.
  6. Add a rotation animation.
    Bring your model to life by adding rotation effects. Always double-check to ensure that the animation runs smoothly.
  7. Add an effect and resize it.
    Add some abstract visual effects and adjust their size along one axis to fit your scene.
  8. Configure the rest of the effects.
    Experiment with different effects to enhance the overall visual experience.
  9. Add lighting and save the project.
    Lighting plays a key role in AR. Add suitable light sources, finalize, and publish your project.
Watch our detailed video guide, where we’ll walk you through every step of this process

Step 3: Printing the T-Shirts

With the AR experience set up, we went ahead and printed t-shirts with the Ganesha design. Once the project was complete, scanning the t-shirt with a smartphone instantly brought Ganesha to life in augmented reality!

Our Ganesha t-shirts with AR are now ready to wear and enjoy!

Enjoy Your AR Project!
