November 2023 release

Location anchors

Location achors let you place your experience at a real-world location by simple selecting a location on a 3D map. Adobe Aero leverages Google's Geospatial Creator to accurately place and orient a location anchored experience in the real-world.

Anchor selection

You can now select your anchor type when creating a new Adobe Aero project. New visuals and a brief description about what each anchor type is for will help you confidently choose the right anchor type.

July 2023 release

iOS version 2.23.6, Desktop version 0.23.4

Dark Mode

Dark mode is now enabled by default on desktop. You can switch between light and dark mode in Aero’s preferences.

Mask Objects

Set any imported, non-animated 3D asset as a mask object. Mask objects aren’t visible to viewers and block any other assets that are behind it. You can use mask objects to create holes in the groud or basic portals.

Reference Objects

Set any imported 3D asset to be a reference object. Reference objects are visible when creating and previewing in Aero but are not included when your scene is shared.

Per-asset Shadow Controls

Choose if an asset casts shadows, receives shadow, casts AND receives shadows or neither! These new object properties help create more realistic AR experiences.
