BlippBuilder is a web-based augmented reality creation tool with a drag-and-drop editor for building experiences with or without coding. It supports surface, marker, image, face, world, and gyro tracking. Users can preview projects in the editor or test them on a device with a temporary QR code before publishing. Upload formats include JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, MP3, GLB, and glTF. Projects publish to the web and can be shared by URL or QR code; they stay live while the subscription is active. The free Starter plan allows users to create, test, and explore projects, but publishing requires a paid plan. BlippBuilder connects to Sketchfab for browsing and importing free 3D models; paid models must be downloaded separately and uploaded. Experiences can be viewed on iOS and Android phones, desktop, and headsets including Magic Leap 2 and Meta Quest. Internet access is required to experience created AR content. Blippar says it has suspended new subscriptions while upgrading its technology platform architecture.
Who it is for
