Get freedom from your phone’s obvious limitations. Use Halo AR – Augmented Reality, VR & 3D Lens Creator!, made by Augmented/Virtual Reality Lens & Creator (LightUp), a Education app on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, and level up your experience.
Halo AR feels like a shortcut to making cool AR stuff without learning a whole new tool. The flow is super simple. Take a picture of a flat thing like a book cover or a worksheet, pick what should appear on top of it, an image, a YouTube clip, or a 3D model, then save. When the camera sees that same page again, the overlay pops up and it looks surprisingly clean. What stands out is how fast that first “oh wow” moment happens, and how easy it is to tweak or redo without getting stuck in menus.
It leans school friendly, but it is not only for classes. Teachers can tag diagrams with quick explanations, set up scavenger hunts around the room, or build flashcards that reveal keywords when scanned. There is a fun trick with 3D too. Attach a model to a postcard, then move the card to spin and inspect the model from every side, it is intuitive and oddly satisfying. People who used Aurasma back in the day will feel at home with how triggers and overlays work.
On PC with BlueStacks, it is handy for organizing halos, typing descriptions with a real keyboard, and pulling media from a desktop folder. Scanning depends on camera support, so results vary, but building and managing collections there is smooth. Creating an account lets someone save everything, group halos by class or activity, and share so followers can scan and see them appear like they are part of the page. It feels approachable, more like playing with stickers that come alive than editing a project, and that makes it easy to keep going.
Switch to BlueStacks and make the most of your apps on your PC or Mac.
