Forgive me but I am new to AR and Reality Composer and I am at a loss on what app someone needs on their iPhone, iPad, Andriod, etc to read the files.

As an example, I made a program on my iPad that a student can go up to a book and it will give information about that book, but that is ONLY when it's in Reality Composer.

I don't want students to be in Reality Composer, as that is fraught with issues and concerns.

What application does one use or need so that when the student points their phone or iPad at the book it does what it does in Reality Composer?

Is this going to be only Apple-based products that can read it because we use iPads, but we have a mix of Andriod and iPhones.

I am really enjoying the making of items, and they will soon be ready for prime time, but there is a missing link on how to properly share what you created on everyone's else devices.

Thanks in advanced, Tim

Hi Tim! You should be able to export your Reality Composer project to a .reality file. You can then view this file via AR Quick Look, which is accessible through Safari or the Files app. However, reality files are proprietary, so they would not be viewable on Android. Alternatively, you can export Reality Composer projects to a .usdz file, which is an open source format. However, I'm not sure what versions of Android support usdz files. Also, you would likely lose some of the interactivity of the project if you export it as a usdz instead of a reality file.
