Getting Started
Every creation in Adobe Aero goes through two phases that are Design & Prototyping phase and Preview Phase.
Design & Prototyping phase
Design your experience by adding assets adding interactions.
As per our tests, using the Aero desktop version can be used as it allows you to work on multiple software at once which are available on the desktop easily, such as 3d and photo manipulation or vector-based software. You can do design on Aero iPad or iPhone version but it felt more buggy and previews felt laggy.
Preview Phase
Test your creation by using the camera of your mobile phone.
Here Aero desktop version doesn’t allow you to use a camera and can only simulate it in a 3D space. During the preview, using a mobile or iPad device can be preferred as it lets you visualize the experience by merging your reality. You can install Aero on your android/iPhone/iPad and can preview your work just by sharing a link.
