Scope of Work

The initial goals of the Aako Apple Reality Composer Pro project revolved around delivering an AR experience that accurately replicated the intricacies of a Blender scene in a mobile environment. The client faced challenges in preserving the nuanced elements of their design in transitioning to Apple’s AR platform. These included dynamic camera angles, reflection behavior on surfaces, and specific shading effects, all crucial for maintaining the visual and interactive quality in AR. Furthermore, integrating the AR scene seamlessly into an existing iOS application while ensuring high performance and visual accuracy was paramount. From inception, the focus was on addressing these challenges by developing a workflow that accommodated these needs, aiming to provide a reliable and visually striking adaptation of originally designed concepts in a user-friendly manner. The project required intense scrutiny over technical implementation processes, ensuring that each component of the Blender-originated scene was reflected accurately in Reality Composer Pro, thus delivering a cohesive and robust AR application.

Our Solution

Crazi Co developed a comprehensive solution for the Aako Apple Reality Composer Pro project, addressing all outlined challenges by establishing a detailed adaptation process. The project was executed through several strategic steps: initially importing assets from Blender and reconstructing the node logic to ensure compatibility with AR workflows. A pivotal element of the project was replicating real-time camera dynamics to produce rotation-based reflections within the AR environment, creating immersive visual interactions. Additionally, sophisticated shading and reflection techniques were meticulously implemented to capture the realistic appearance and behavior of the bubble visual—a core aspect of the client's AR proposition. Every detail related to texture and lighting optimization was thoroughly explored to achieve unmatched performance on iOS devices. Crazi Co approached the task with cutting-edge architecture and precise execution, ensuring the solution met high standards for visual accuracy and interaction fluidity, all while being embedded seamlessly into the client’s existing iOS application.
