What ARClip gives you for AR and VR
Every kind of AR in one editor
Image or QR code, surface, face and 360° — pick the kind for each scene in a project. VPS ties content to a real place.
How it worksInteractivity without code
Pick an event and its steps: tap an object, and an animation plays, a state changes or a card opens.
How it worksAnimation on a timeline
Keyframes, easing and presets, plus the animations that came with your model.
How it worksInterface over the camera
Buttons, menus, quizzes and a game score — UI cards connected to the scene.
How it worksCode when you need it
TypeScript scripts with physics, data and server functions — for games and complex mechanics.
How it worksOne link for every device
One link and QR code: phones open the scene in the browser, iPhones also through an App Clip with nothing to install, and VR headsets in their own browser.
How it worksTogether in one scene
Multiplayer with up to 30 people per room — for games, tours and meetings, with no server of your own.

How to move your Blippar projects to ARClip Design
What moves over as files
- Gather your project's source files from Blippar: 3D models, videos and marker images.
- Create an “AR scene” project in ARClip and upload the files — models as GLB, glTF, FBX or OBJ, videos and images.
What to rebuild — and with what
Rebuild Blippbuilder projects in the ARClip editor: markers and surfaces in the AR scene settings, buttons and actions with no-code logic. Rewrite WebAR SDK code as ARClip scripts.
Fastest with AI: describe the project to the assistant in the editor, or connect Claude or Cursor via MCP, and the agent builds the scene from your files and description.
Publish the project and put the new link or QR code where the old ones were.
Questions
Do viewers need to install an app?
No. The project opens from a link or QR code right in the phone's browser. On iPhone it can also start through an App Clip, with nothing to install from the App Store.
Does the AR work on iPhone?
Yes — in Safari and other iPhone browsers, as well as in the ARClip app and through an App Clip.
Can I open the project in a VR headset?
Yes — with the same link in the headset's browser: Quest, Pico, Vision Pro, PC VR.
Can I move a project over from Blippar?
Models (GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ) and video move over as they are; anchoring and logic have to be rebuilt — see the steps above.
Can we build a scene together?
Yes. Everyone sees each other in the editor, writes in the project chat, comments on objects and talks by voice or video with screen sharing.
Try it on your own project
Open a workspace, describe what you want to build and see the first version in the editor. No card, no install.
