Hey everyone, I’m diving into AR development and I’m a bit confused. I’m currently working on a project that requires AR functionality, and I’ve come across both AR markers and markerless AR. Could someone explain how AR markers and markerless AR differ in their implementation? Specifically, I’m curious about their setup, accuracy, and overall user experience. Any insights would be really helpful! Thanks!
- AR Markers: Use specific visual markers (like QR codes) to position digital content. The AR app recognizes these markers through the camera and places 3D objects relative to them.
- Markerless AR: Places digital objects based on the real-world environment’s features (like walls or tables) without needing predefined markers. The app analyzes the environment to determine where to position virtual content.
Markerless AR eliminates the need for capturing physical markers to trigger virtual interaction has the following advantages: You significantly increase the average range of motion while experiencing AR. You can initialize the application anywhere with a handheld device or a see-through headset like glasses or goggles.
