Using this template is the quickest and simplest way to create a world effect with an object that’s sized for the real world. Users of effects made with this template can tap to place, move or rotate your object in their real-world surroundings.

Customize the template

You can replace the template’s lamp object with any object, as long as it’s correctly scaled and measured in meters before you import it to Spark AR Studio. To customize the template:

1. Import your chosen object and select it in the Assets panel.
2. To place the object in the world, drag and drop it in the Scene panel, under dragHere.
3. Finally, in the Scene panel, select deleteMe and press delete on your keyboard to remove the lamp placeholder object.

Choose the devices that can view your effect

The template is set up by default to show your effect on all devices, whether or not they support real scale. This means that objects in your effect will appear arbitrarily scaled to users on unsupported devices. If your effect doesn’t make sense at an arbitrary scale you can make sure it’s only distributed to supported devices. To do so:

1. Select planeTracker0 in the Scene panel.
2. Go to the Inspector and to the right of Enable Effect, from the dropdown, select Only supported devices.
