Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) applications have become more popular beyond the research laboratory due to recent technological breakthroughs in computer hardware and mobile devices. Users are starting to interact with virtual content mixed with real environments at their ofﬁces, homes, and schools using their mobile phones. For this growing market, developers have ﬁrst to decide the platform in which they will develop the application (e.g. Apple iOS or Android). Then they must decide whether start writing the application from scratch using only platform native tools, or using one of the available Software Development Kits (SDKs), or using high-level authoring tools for the chosen platform. Besides, developers have to face different AR related issues according to the application’s requirements: markers, barcodes or general image tracking, geolocation, efﬁcient rendering of 3D objects, and designing a robust GUI for the target devices. To help developers and researchers to start writing mobile AR applications, this survey identiﬁes the main features of several freeware and commercial SDKs and authoring tools. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS) :

移动增强现实开发工具综述

由于计算机硬件和移动设备的最新技术突破，增强现实(AR)应用在研究实验室之外变得更加流行。用户开始在他们的办公室、家庭和学校使用手机与混合了真实环境的虚拟内容进行交互。对于这个不断增长的市场，开发者必须首先决定他们将在哪个平台上开发应用程序(如苹果iOS或Android)。然后，他们必须决定是否只使用平台原生工具从头开始编写应用程序，或者使用可用的软件开发工具包(sdk)之一，或者使用所选平台的高级创作工具。此外，根据应用程序的要求，开发人员必须面对不同的AR相关问题:标记，条形码或一般图像跟踪，地理定位，3D对象的高效渲染，以及为目标设备设计一个强大的GUI。为了帮助开发人员和研究人员开始编写移动AR应用程序，本调查确定了几个免费软件和商业sdk和创作工具的主要功能。类别和主题描述符(根据ACM CCS):
