1. Choose an Augmented Reality Plugin:
To add augmented reality effects in WordPress, the first thing you need to do is select an augmented reality plugin. Currently, there are several WordPress plugins available that can help you in adding an augmented reality experience to your website. Some of the popular AR plugins are – AR Browser, AR Image Marker, and WebAR.
1. Install the Plugin:
After selecting an AR plugin suitable for your website, install the plugin. For installation, go to the WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins section, and click on “Add New.” Type the name of your plugin and click “Install Now.” After installation, you need to activate the plugin.
1. Create a Marker:
The next step is to create an AR marker, which will be recognized by the plugin to display the augmented reality effects. To create a marker, you may use images in PNG format or video files in MP4 format. Once you have a marker, you need to upload it to the plugin.
1. Add Interactive Elements:
After creating a marker, you can add interactive elements to it. For instance, you can add videos, 3D objects, animations, and images to the marker. You can also add text to provide information about the marker or the AR experience. The plugin will then recognize the marker and display these interactive elements.
1. Preview the AR Effect:
After uploading the marker and adding interactive elements, you need to preview the AR effect. To preview, use a mobile or tablet device, and scan the AR marker, and you will be able to see the AR effect.
1. Embed AR Effect on Your WordPress Site:
After previewing the AR effect, the final step is to embed the AR effect on your WordPress site. To do this, you need to insert a shortcode, which is a code that will display the AR effect on your website. You also have the option to customize the shortcode to change the size, position, and other properties of the AR effect.
