Step 1
Log in or register for Zapworks. If registering you can sign up for a free personal account.
Step 2
Once logged in you will see your zapcode dashboard where all your zapcodes are displayed.
Step 3
To create a new Zapcode, click the large button in the top left side of the page. Give the zapcode a name and select the shape you would like. Then click continue. You can then choose how you want to create the zap. Widget is the easiest to use but is not very flexible. Designer allows you to have more control of what appears on screen and add multiple scenes so that you can present a lot of content when the zap is scanned. Finally Studio allows for the embedding of 3D models. For most uses, Designer would be the most appropriate choice.
Step 4
Once that is selected you will see the following page. Click “Edit Zapcode content” to start putting together your content.
Step 5
To build your AR experience, click the blue tool buttons on the right. Follow the instructions that appear on screen to modify them with your content.Most items have extra features. These can be accessed by clicking the item and then clicking the “Actions” tab below the main design area.
Step 6
You can test your zapcode at any time by clicking the “Preview” button in the top right corner. This will generate the zapcode which can be scanned by the phone app.
Step 7
Once you’re happy with your content, click the “Publish” button.
Step 8
Return to that zapcode’s dashboard and click “Download your zapcode”. You can download the code on it’s own or with a frame that explains how to scan it. You can also download more detailed instructions which can be placed on the page you’re using the code on.
Step 9
Once downloaded, simply add your zapcode image to the document you want to augment.
