Project Aero is a tool that has been expected by users of Adobe’s multinational products for several months. Finally, we know a little more about it. AR is a powerful medium that gives creative people a new dimension in how they tell their stories and how the audience experiences them. They want it to be possible to redecorate the house to get the right look before making a purchase, viewing artworks, studying in classrooms where students interact with a molecule.
Probably the most vigilant will remember it. At the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference last May, Adobe made a serious mystery of it. After months without news, however, the wait for the Aero project is finally over.
Obviously, we still don’t have all the information about a software that looks particularly promising. Adobe, however, continues to leave us with water in our mouths. The Augmented Reality Creation software is a synthesis of what Adobe already offers, as it will include Adobe Photoshop CC and Dimension CC. Are you wondering why? Quite simply, so that you don’t get lost when you start using Aero.
The project Aero would give content creatives the opportunity to transfer their designs and animations in real-world scenarios via mobile devices. According to the company, this technology can be used in various disciplines and areas, such as classrooms, where students can interact with microorganisms or star bodies.
In addition, it has the services of Adobe Sensei, the artificial intelligence and automatic learning unit, which will help to understand the working scenario by identifying aspects such as lighting, textures, motion and spatial perception.
The development work is still going on, but in a few months Project Aero will be released in the Creative Cloud Suite. The aim is to have an accessible and simple tool to create augmented reality experiences for the mobile phone. It will be a tool that integrates design platforms such as Photoshop and Dimension and aims to be a space for users to develop an immersive design discipline.
Since Adobe seems to give priority to Apple’s ARKit while forgetting Google’s ARCore, not everyone is treated equally. Hopefully, everyone will have equal rights to promoting the creation of different platforms. All you have to do is wait to discover Aero.
Project Aero is the result of a multi-company partnership to standardize interaction models and file formats and provide community tools that facilitate the creation of the material. They work with open standards such as usdz and glTF and leading platform providers as well as Pixar, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft, and the creative industry.
