I am currently new to augmented reality programming and i would like to ask a question regarding AR app. I have downloaded "Augmented Reality" app from the play store . Using Augmented Reality app, I could be able to view some 3D model objects such as front view, back view, left and right side views. I have taken a print out of Universal tracker sheet so with the help of Universal tracker, I could be able to view some 3D model objects.
For an example, car or bike can be placed on a universal tracker (printed sheet) and then the objects can be viewed in a graphical views. I can understand that with the help of "Augmented Reality" concept, the objects can be viewed in a 3D graphic model with their actual size that is integrated in real time environment. I could also be able to understand that Universal tracker is a software and should capture the objects then with the help of some software those objects can be rendered and viewed as a 3D model.
When I researched about Augmented Reality technology, could be able to see many open source library and engines such as AR-Tool kit, Mixare so on. By using Wikitude SDK can achieve this.
I know that AR provides API for interacting with a camera and it supports OpenGl graphics so as a Java/Android developer how can I begin with or develop an AR applications for Android?
I referred to Wikitude SDK with Android and Java.
As far, I know that AR tool kit is written in Java. As a Java Android Developer, how to work with Wikitude SDK to develop such apps as I mentioned above here? Is there any sample apps or tutorial based on Android with Java?
I have not used the Wikitude SDK but I recently created an AR app for Android using the Qualcomm Vuforia SDK. I used Vuforia to handle the AR functionality and rendered models from obj files onto the image targets using OpenGL ES 2.0. The Vuforia SDK was excellent; it is free and developed by Qualcomm so it is high quality. There are tutorials at the Vuforia developers site and several demo apps (with source code) that come with the SDK.
