Types of AR Applications
Get introduced to marker-based and markerless AR applications.
We'll cover the following...
There are two main types of AR applications: marker-based and markerless. Markerless AR has the following four types:
- AR based on location
- AR based on projection
- AR based on contour
- AR overlay
Different types of AR are used for different purposes. The following section discusses the application of each type.
Marker-based AR
AR applications that use markers rely on target images and patterns to position digital objects within a defined space.
These applications use marker patterns in the physical world to superimpose 3D digital objects onto them. In the initial stages of AR technology, markers were a crucial component of these applications. The technology comprises several components, including cameras, image capture, processing, tracking, and other elements. Nonetheless, it’s a simple and economical method to implement. Instagram and Snapchat filters and games are prominent examples of marker-based AR technology that has become ubiquitous in everyday life and social ...
