Halo AR
San Mateo, California, United States
What it is
Halo AR is an augmented-reality creation app for building and sharing experiences from a phone or tablet, without desktop software or coding. Its AI creator studio is designed for immersive 3D content. Creators can place photos, YouTube videos, or 3D models on photographed flat objects, then share experiences through QR codes or deep links. Viewers can use phones, tablets, or mixed-reality headsets such as Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, and Microsoft HoloLens. For lessons, creators can add video, audio, models, voice explanations, and animations to posters, books, worksheets, and flashcards. Museums can make digital exhibits, tours, interactive artwork, expanded collections, and visualizations of historic sites; retail items such as catalogues, prints, and souvenirs can link to educational AR material. Halo AR says experiences work without Wi-Fi. It is available on iOS and Android. The BASIC plan is free, billed annually; PRO is $99 a year, billed annually.
