I was researching on creating a proprietary QR code for a personnel project. I wanted a system where a unique QR code could redirect visitors to website. But i soon realize that QR code would soon be phased out. And then google directed me to Augmented Reality!!! Eureka this should be the future, image recognition to trigger a redirection. And so the quest to find a SDK.
Requirements:
Allow creation of personal AR apps.
Work on Android and iOS
Review of Shortlisted AR
aurasma:
- Payment needed for Skinned app or SDK per app license fees.
+ easy to use
+ well documented
+ community support
+ simple to design personal AR scenes (image targets & expected result)
Vuforia:
- Payment needed to use their Cloud storage feature for dynamic loading of targets
+ Free for SDK and creation of app without having Cloud feature
+ Average documentation (noted some of their samples app are not updated to their latest SDK Version)
+ community support
Wikitude:
- Payment based on image targets for SDK usage. ~ 3Euro per month for each image
+ Easy to create image target and response
ARtoolkit:
- Learning curve to use is high, lacking of sample application to help get user started
+ Free to use
I settled for Vuforia, a somewhat free but usable solution. Using the sample application I began my first AR app within a night.
