# AR Experiences

Reach Cloud supports AR experiences using our Meta Prefab pipeline and our custom `https://ar.reachcoud.org` domain.

## Guide

1. Begin by following the documentation on uploading Prefabs using [Reach’s Cloud Engine SDK](https://reach-cloud.gitbook.io/reach-explorer-documentation/metaverse-cloud-engine-sdk/unity-engine-sdk/upload-a-prefab). <mark style="color:red;">**You must upload for WebGL**</mark> since this is a Web Based application. Other platforms will be ignored.
2. After successfully uploading a prefab, you’ll want to begin by constructing a link. Please follow the [parameters](#ar-url-parameters) section for details.
3. Take the final URL and create a QR code out of it. You may use the QR code itself as the tracked image by uploading it as the Meta Prefab thumbnail (but don’t include the `imageurl` parameter)
4. After following these steps you should have a working AR experience like the example below.<br>

## AR URL Parameters

Below is a table showing the parameters you can specify in the <https://ar.reachcloud.org> URL to configure the AR experience.

| imageUrl                                          | No       | <p>Image URL (Encoded)</p><p><br></p><p>Must be PNG or JPG</p> | imageUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fpicsum.photos%2F200    | <p>The (url encoded) URL to the image to use as a tracked image.</p><p><br></p><p>If this value is not specified, the Prefab’s thumbnail will be used as the tracked image.</p>                                      |

Otherwise the prefab will only appear when the tracked image is visible to the camera.                                       |
