Markerless (surface-placement) AR lets users drop 3D content onto any flat surface — no printed marker required — for true-to-scale previews anywhere.

Before you start

You do not need Unity, 3D specialists, or a native app to launch markerless AR. Choose markerless when there is no print to scan or when scale-in-place is the point.

Step by step

  • Prepare a true-scale 3D model
  • Enable surface placement
  • Let users tap to place and rotate
  • Share the link or QR

Common pitfalls to avoid

Anywhere, at scale: Markerless AR uses the floor or a table as the anchor, so the model lands at real size in the user’s own space.

Your launch checklist

  • One clear scan prompt
  • A tested overlay in real lighting
  • Analytics tagged by campaign
  • A follow-up call to action
