Summary

TrainAR combines a procedural augmented reality training concept, didactic framework, and authoring tool for handheld devices. Authors import 3D models, convert them to TrainAR objects, then use visual scripting to define instructions, user actions, and feedback. The authoring tool includes onboarding animations, tracking solutions, assembly placement, layered feedback, and training assessments. Users can grab, interact with, and combine objects, as well as respond to UI elements such as questions. TrainAR can also be used without its visual-scripting overlay through the Unity Editor and C# programming. The Unity extension works on Windows, macOS, and Linux; completed training apps can be deployed to Android and iOS. iOS deployment requires Xcode on macOS after building the app. The installation guide calls for Unity 2022.3 LTS and the relevant platform modules. TrainAR is free for commercial and non-commercial use under the MIT license. It supports procedural task understanding, but does not train associated motor skills.

Who it is for

TrainAR is aimed at non-programmers, designers, and domain experts with media competency, while also supporting developers with Unity and programming experience. It may suit people creating procedural task training for Android or iOS devices.

What is good
