Open Source Augmented Reality Software

OpenXR is a royalty-free, open standard that provides high-performance access to Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), collectively known as XR, platforms and devices. This repository contains OpenXR headers, as well as source code and build scripts for the OpenXR loader. It contains all generated source files and headers pre-generated for minimum dependencies. The OpenXR 1.0 specification is free for anyone to download, review and comment. Without a cross-platform standard, VR and AR applications and engines must use each platform’s proprietary APIs. New input devices need customized driver integration. OpenXR provides cross-platform, high-performance access directly into diverse XR device runtimes across multiple platforms. OpenXR enables applications and engines, including WebXR, to run on any system that exposes the OpenXR APIs.

Easily display interactive 3D models on the web & in AR. Use our Editor to test your 3D models and download a starter website. Generate your own 3D Twitter card for any website. :focus-visible is an as-yet unimplemented web platform feature that enables content authors to style a component on the condition that it received focus in such a way that suggests the focus state should be visibly evident. The :focus-visible capability has not been implemented in any stable browsers yet. If the polyfill is available on the page, <model-viewer> will use it and only display focus rings when :focus-visible should apply.

ArUco is a minimal library for Augmented Reality applications based exclusively on OpenCV. Relies on b/w markers with codes that are detected by calling a single function. Trivial integration of your augmented reality applications with OpenGL and OGRE. See documentation at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OiavRVYVJ-WH88sQg1LUsh8CuJZUQyrX/view?usp=sharing

OpenXR Conformance Test Suite is a collection of tests covering the breadth of the OpenXR API. Some tests have been grouped by tags depending on the involvement of the tester/invoker (e.g. [interactive]) and the area of the test (e.g. [composition] and [actions]). Interactive tests for validating layer composition must run for all graphics APIs supported by the runtime and action tests must run for all interaction profiles supported by the runtime. For this reason, the suite of tests is run multiple times with different configurations. conformance_cli, a command-line interface application, is provided for running on PCs and other devices and platforms which support this form of application. conformance_cli also demonstrates how to build an application that can interop with the conformance_test shared library. If the device being tested does not support a command-line interface, a host application must be built for the device that the OpenXR runtime will run on.

The WebXR Gamepads Module is for accessing the state of buttons, triggers, thumbsticks, and touchpads associated with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) motion controllers on the Web. This specification is a product of the Immersive Web Working Group. This specification module describes support for accessing button, trigger, thumbstick, and touchpad data associated with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices on the Web. Hardware that enables Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) applications are now broadly available to consumers, offering an immersive computing platform with both new opportunities and challenges. The ability to interact directly with immersive hardware is critical to ensuring that the web is well equipped to operate as a first-class citizen in this environment. The WebXR Gamepads module adds interfaces and behaviors to the WebXR Device API and the Gamepads API to allow for querying the state of buttons, triggers, thumbsticks.

With the AR MultiPendulum app, I created the world’s first AR headset experience that does not rely on expensive specialized hardware. Using Google Cardboard, a standard iPhone, and video footage from the phone’s camera, the app creates an AR headset experience by rendering the user’s surroundings in VR. AR MultiPendulum allows users to interact with virtual objects directly with their hand instead of tapping an object's location on a touchscreen. It brings a mesmerizing multi-pendulum simulation into augmented reality. Users interact with this simulation through hand movements and modify it through a holographic interface. Not only does this app bring augmented reality to a pendulum simulation, it is also the first app to simulate more than three pendulums. Additionally, by repurposing a VR headset for AR, this is the first app that gives users an affordable AR headset experience.

Lvr contains the 3D and WebVR boilerplates required to get running across platforms including mobile, desktop, Vive, and Rift. It works on any phone with WebGL and WebRTC. HTML is easy to read and copy-and-paste. Since Lvr can be used from HTML, Lvr is accessible to everyone: web developers, VR enthusiasts, educators, artists, makers, kids. It is completely open source and free of charge! Lvr is a powerful framework on top of three.js, providing a declarative, composable, reusable entity-component structure. While Lvr can be used from HTML, developers have unlimited access to JavaScript, DOM APIs, three.js, WebVR, and WebGL. Lvr is a thin framework on top of AR.js and A-Frame. Although A-Frame uses the DOM, A-Frame does not touch the browser layout engine. Performance is a top priority, being battle-tested on highly interactive WebVR experiences. It runs efficiently even on mobile phones!

The Augmented Reality Tool Kit (ARToolKit) captures images from video sources, optically tracks markers in the images, and composites them with computer-generated content using OpenGL. Dual-licensed, under the GPL, plus commercially by ARToolworks, Inc. NEW: A free demonstration of ARToolKit capabilities has been made available as part of ARToolworks "Codex Interactivus: Bringing Leonardo to Life!" Kickstarter project. Download from https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/artoolworks/codex-interactivus-bringing-leonardo-to-life/

SudaRA is a C++ framework based on ARToolKit for development of Augmented Reality applications, offering features such as support for 3D models, sound, network, multiple-marker tracking, among others through a simple and well-structured interface.

ARDev is an augmented reality toolkit to assist robot developers in debugging complex robot sensors.

With the AR MultiPendulum app, I created the world’s first AR headset experience that does not rely on expensive specialized hardware. Using Google Cardboard, a standard iPhone, and video footage from the phone’s camera, the app creates an AR headset experience by rendering the user’s surroundings in VR. Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that overlays virtual objects over the real world. For years, AR experiences have been available on smartphones through handheld AR apps. In 2016, Pokemon Go popularized AR, overlaying virtual characters on a map of the world. Beyond that, AR has only played a minor role in the average person’s life, being used for a few occasional tasks such as measuring objects or testing out furniture. By interacting with detailed 3D models of the human body, surgeons can run through the steps of surgery and learn from mistakes in an environment that will not endanger a patient’s life.

In Augmented Reality Development we often need high quality markers for image targets compatible with accurate detection. ARK is an AR sticker generator made using various image processing libraries & scientific tools. It creates a colorful sticker similar to a QR code with each sticker being completely unique from other. It also allows to add an image overlay for branding or other stuff. Generated stickers can be found in Output folder. Extension is .png *GitHub Listing is in process*

Affine transformation virtual 3D object using a finger gesture-based interactive system in the virtual environment. A convolutional neural network (CNN) based thumb and index fingertip detection system are presented here for seamless interaction with a virtual 3D object in the virtual environment. First, a two-stage CNN is employed to detect the hand and fingertips, and using the information of the fingertip position, the scale, rotation, translation, and in general, the affine transformation of the virtual object is performed. This is the version 2.0 that includes a more generalized affine transformation of virtual objects in the virtual environment with more experimentation and analysis. Previous versions only include the geometric transformation of a virtual 3D object with respect to a finger gesture. Paper for the affine transformation of the virtual 3D object has been published in Virtual Reality & Intelligent Hardware, Elsevier Science Publishers in 2020.
