THE PROJECT
The odyssey of Adobe Aero began when the app started experiencing so many bugs that I had to transform the Digital Drawing Aero project into Google Sketchup. Later on in the semester, I decided that I would try using the beta Aero desktop software that has recently been published by Adobe. Despite it being a beta version, the software worked perfectly without any errors or lost work. It is very straightforward to create a project on the desktop software and then view it on the Aero app. The only issue I ever experienced was that the project could not be opened on both the app and the desktop software at the same time without duplicating the project. I was able to successfully create a project with numerous layers, triggered animations, and audio in this program.
INTERNSHIP GOALS
This version of Aero can absolutely serve as an alternative to the Aero app whenever the Digital Drawing class interns and students experience issues like those that presented themselves this semester. The user interface is almost identical to the app, so students will have no difficulty switching from one to the other. Learning how to create augmented reality art in this software expanded my understanding of the medium and will definitely inform my future projects.
