  1. Augmented reality technology is changing the way we interact with our surroundings. Introducing digitally generated objects into the physical world through smart devices has the potential to transform every industry, from education and healthcare to entertainment and gaming. If you want to join the hype, you need to know what you need to do. As a result, we've compiled a list of the best Augmented Reality development tools. Without further ado, please enjoy! Recommended To Read: The Impact Of Virtual Reality On The Real Estate Industry Type of AR applications There are different types of AR and each is well suited for different uses. Although all AR devices share some things in common, there are some differences. Mainly we have two broad classes of AR applications. Marker-based — This type of AR application relies on image recognition and uses predefined black-and-white markers to trigger the display of AR object overlays on top of the image. To view AR content, you need to position the

  2. camera at the marker. Once the AR application detects the marker, it overlays the digital content on the marker and you can see the AR object. Location-based — This type of application detects the location of the user with the help of GPS, accelerometer, or compass on the mobile to determine the location and overlay AR objects on the real image. It doesn't need markers. AR app development is a complex task, there are many AR development tools available for AR app development. Companies are looking for the best tools that can be used for AR app development. Commonly considered factors for choosing the right tools are costs, image recognition, tracking capabilities, and many other factors. The blog Best Tools for Developing AR Mobile Apps helps businesses and individuals looking for the best tool for AR app development. Recommended To Read: Evolution of Augmented Reality in the Past, Present and Future Top Augmented Reality Tools for Mobile Apps (in no particular order) #. Vuforia This top-of-the-line freemium SDK AR mobile app framework is built by Qualcomm of all companies. Vuforia works with Android, iOS, and Unity Editor. It also has advanced tracking and smart terrain to accurately map the surface around the user and store information locally for immediate use. #. ARToolKit If you are into open-source coding like Python, ARToolKit is your solution. It is a freeware with an open library. It works on iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, SGI, and macOS. It may traditionally be aimed at beginners but the powerful functionality of graphic data processing makes it a popular choice for advanced applications as well. #. Apple ARKit It is a framework released by Apple in 2017. It is completely free but of limited use. It can only be used on iOS devices. However, the tools are powerful and diverse with the aim of seamlessly integrating protocols into real-world

  3. environments using 2D / 3D detection and tracking, horizontal plane detection, lighting estimation using face tracking to make virtual objects look more realistic, and so on. Recommended To Read: How Virtual Reality Can Impact Business ? #. Google ARCore It's Google's response to Apple's framework. ARCore is also free and does basically the same thing without face tracking. It works on both Android and iOS 11+ and has integration with Java/OpenGL, Unreal, and Unity. #. MaxST MaxST is quickly gaining popularity due to its power and flexibility. It works with Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. It supports image tracking, instant identification, visual SLAM, object tracking, QR/barcode scanning, and integration with Unity. #. Wikitude Wikitude is a powerful cloud-based and location-based framework that supports almost all platforms and uses SLAM tracking. It has an excellent online studio for deploying static augmented reality objects, which only requires uploading an image for integration into the system. The framework is only trial-based and requires a subscription but the development company is constantly updating the system and offering a reasonable price for the product. #. Kudan This framework may be pricey but it has a free trial version. However, if you're in the Chinese market, this might be your best bet. It uses the SLAM protocol, works on both Android and iOS, and is based on a marker-based tracking and geolocation application.

  4. EasyAR may have "easy" in the name but its power comes with a caveat. It is only for veterans as there are no tutorials or support documents. It is designed as an Asian market solution for AR application development and can run on Android, iOS, UWP, Unity Editor, Windows, and macOS. Besides being one of the best image recognition frameworks on the market (it can detect clouds), it's also free. The end Visualize your imagination/thoughts into reality. Augmented Reality(AR) has dramatically changed how we interact with data by increasing the dimensions of knowledge or information and reducing reliance on external objects such as a piece of paper or small screens. AR mainly focuses on increasing the productivity of the brain instead of chasing the learning curve, thereby benefiting various fields. AR is definitely going to rule the future, so it's about thinking outside the box and innovating your business. The more effectively you convey your business idea and message to the customer, the more he will relate to and invest in your business. Hence, a well-defined AR-enabled application comes into play here, hire an AR app developers in New York and grow your business like never before.
