Minimal UI for AR Verses
For an immersive Augmented Reality (AR) experience, you can launch AR projects with a minimal UI, removing unnecessary distractions and focusing solely on content consumption. This is particularly useful when creating AR experiences for:
- Viewing a specific AR Object – Display 3D models, artworks, or interactive elements without extra UI elements.
- Watching AR Videos – Allow users to focus entirely on media content in AR.
- Non-Interactive Experiences – Ensure that users do not need to interact with controls, making the experience more passive and seamless.
How to Enable a Minimal UI for AR Verses
You can configure AR projects with a minimal UI in the Properties Panel by following these steps:
1. Select the Root of Your Project
- Open the Properties Panel in the XR Creator editor.
- Ensure the Minimal Mode is enabled (See: Config Manager: Customizing Your Verse Settings).
2. Adjust the Config Manager Settings
The Config Manager lets you control which UI elements appear in the Verse.
You can enable the following UI components to make your custom minimal AR experience:
| UI Component | Effect |
|---|---|
| Enable AR | Enables the Enter on AR button for Augmented Reality mode. |
| Show Verse Name | Enables the Verse name on the entry screen. |
| Enable Settings | Enables the Settings button on the entry screen for moderators. |
How the Minimal UI Works in AR
When Minimal UI Mode is enabled:
- Users enter directly into AR mode without pop-ups or networking options.
- The scene appears clean, with only the AR objects or videos visible.
- Users can move their device to explore but cannot interact with controls.
Perfect for:
- Exhibitions & Galleries – Display digital art in AR without extra UI elements.
- Educational Demos – Showcase AR learning materials with no distractions.
- Brand & Product Experiences – Highlight AR products or advertisements without intrusive menus.
Publishing an AR Experience with a Minimal UI
Once your Minimal UI AR project is configured, publish it as follows:
- Click Launch > Deploy to Metaverse.
- Ensure the "Enter in AR" option is enabled.
- Share the unique link or QR code for instant access.
🔹 Now users can enjoy a distraction-free AR experience!
