PICTARIZE is really simple for making AR. This program uses an image as a "
TARGET" -- and then projects an AUGMENTED REALITY image on top of that image:
I did that in
this project -- when I used my bird-airplane print at
QUELAB as a "target" image -- and projected an AUGMENTED REALITY airplane in 3D on top of that image.
After going to
this LINK one only has to hoover his smart phone over the print (
like scanning a QR Code) to get the 3D airplane to show up over the print exactly:
I used this
image from my PRINT below as a "
TARGET" -- and uploaded
this GLB file as the AR "content."
hoover your smart phone over this bird-airplane target image
to see a 3D plane over it in Augmented Reality
with the "target" image below
the 3D airplane in AR
Then after
clicking "PUBLISH" in the upper right hand corner (
and then "build" on the next page), I can "preview" the Augmented Reality in my smart phone or tablet:
Hit "Preview" and this screen then pops up. The URL and QR code on the left take you to the scanning page -- then one can test that AR with the "target" images on the right by hoovering their smart phones over them:

MULTIPLE TARGETS
NOTE: One can add
MULTIPLE TARGETS in the build, with multiple corresponding AR objects -- but they have to hit the "wrench icon" and choose "Multiple" in the Project Settings (
before saving, publishing and building) for multiple AR experiences to work:
Click the "WRENCH" icon
to choose multiple AR targets and experiences
"wrench icon">Multiple
for sensing different targets and different AR experiences
PICTARIZE is free to try out, but costs $25 a month to "release" (
which I imagine means "host").
