    .

  6. Once the dinosaur is placed, you can go ahead and add interactivity to it. Tap on the dinosaur to see a toolbar appear at the bottom of the screen.

  7. Tap on Behaviors > Trigger. You can set the trigger to Start, Touch, or Enter proximity. Let us choose Touch in this example.

    To learn more, see Add interactivity to digital assets.

  8. Then, tap on Action. You can choose from a list of actions like bounce, spin, move, and more. Let's choose Animate for the dinosaur. You can keep the default settings for this action or explore some different options. 

  9. In the preview mode, you can now see the animated dinosaur.

    Share your AR experience by capturing a video or image of the experience and sharing them with others.
