AR Content Generation through Web Technologies

Matt Ruge and Paul Plunkett

Many technologies and solutions have already been developed for virtual and augmented reality, but one of the largest lacking pieces is content.  In order to effectively add information, content, and experiences to the world, someone has to create that content.  Tools such as Augmented Reality Web Browsers, and applications that can import databases of corresponding to locations are useful, but still require either application developers to build a complete software package to interpret the data and interface with the user, or require advanced web design expertise to build the both the objects and content.

We feel that Augmented Reality would be a much more useable and popular tool if resources didn’t require an investment of time, expertise, and money.  Our goal is to provide an interface that would allow simple augmented reality interfaces to be created in as little as an afternoon.

We will focus on content generation with the ability to “snap” the content to virtual building models on Georgia Tech’s campus.
