This is a 3-hour beginner-level workshop using ©Adobe Aero as tool for the creation of an Augmented Reality experience.

The workshop will be held in Portuguese language, in-person, at the PS43 Room, FBAUP (but suitable for English-speaking participants).

It is divided into two parts: a first introductory section in which a series of small experiments with the software will be carried out to help the participant become familiar with the tool and define the principles of an experience with Augmented Reality; and a second section in which a small project will be designed, from the preparation of the necessary files to the saving and publishing of the experience.
