Description: AnimARide software allows users to upgrade any real-life captured panoramic video into an AR animated experience by using motion file from the video to animate different 3D elements inside the movie. Choose from a wide range of animARide’s pre-installed cockpits and set up individual motion characteristics such as incline of the cockpit, shake intensity, shadow positioning, and a lot more, to create your own AR animated experiences.
AR content production has never been so simple as with our unique technology. AnimARide animates different elements inside the video including the chosen cockpit, speedometer and tachometer, steering wheel and joystick, transmission stick, and a lot more. No manual animation needed.
Review: I’m never that excited to review apps and tools in VR as I am never really sure what to say about them. While I am probably the most underskilled to review ‘animARide’ I did come away from it feeling quite excited about its possibilities. In short, it is 3D environments and items that you can wrap 360 video and images around. So take the 3D racing car, you can they wrap around a 360 video file of your own day at a real-world race track, the possibilities really quite vast. I have fun downloading 360 videos from Youtube of rollercoasters and using the car mod to pretend to drive around them. For just £0.79 this is well worth a look, but do be aware that you have to pay more money for more features and that will sadly put a lot of people off this.
