With the advent of Augmented Reality (AR), many have seen the great potential for education, learning, and developing empathy towards effective change. Adobe Aero is a stepping stone for students to learn how to use AR. In this workshop, you will learn how to create an augmented reality experience with Adobe Aero. We will talk about how to designate target surfaces or images, import 2D and 3D content, animate content based on user interactions, and much more. We will talk about the workflow we used for creating "Finding Jet" An Augmented Reality Animation about ocean plastic pollution.
