AR Code Tech | 14/09/2024 | Twitter Facebook Linkedin Email Reddit

At AR Code, we’re making Augmented Reality more accessible than ever, bringing immersive AR experiences to all users—whether they're using a top-tier smartphone or a budget Android device. Our latest breakthrough is a low-power SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) system, which enables rich, real-time AR experiences directly in the web browser, no app downloads required.

AR Without Boundaries: SLAM for Every Device

Our low-power SLAM system is designed to revolutionize how users interact with AR, especially those using low-performance Android smartphones. This lightweight solution makes AR experiences—such as 3D model rendering and AR Video playback—seamless and immersive, even on devices that historically struggled with demanding AR applications. Our SLAM system will gradually replace our earlier AR Marker technology, ensuring better performance and a more intuitive experience for users across all devices.

But what about high-end smartphones? Not to worry—our technology fully supports the native AR capabilities of advanced devices, leveraging cutting-edge updates from Apple, Google, Samsung, and others. Whether your users have the latest flagship model or an older Android phone, AR Code provides a consistent, high-quality experience, thanks to the adaptive nature of our SLAM system.

Seamless Web-Based AR Experiences

Imagine a customer scanning a QR Code on a Starbucks cup and watching a commercial come to life right on their screen. With AR Code SLAM, this type of interactive, real-time experience is possible anywhere and on any device.

Our mission is simple: to bring AR to everyone, everywhere. With AR Code SLAM, users no longer need to worry about downloading large apps or having access to powerful devices. Our solution is embedded directly within the web browser, meaning users can scan a QR code and instantly unlock immersive AR experiences on their smartphones, tablets, or AR/VR headsets—no app required.

• Scan the AR QR Code: Generated from our platform, the code activates an AR experience directly in the browser.
• Watch 3D Models & AR Videos Come to Life: Whether it’s an AR video, face filter, or 3D model, our SLAM system renders it directly into the user’s environment, stabilized and lifelike, even on lower-end devices.

The Tech Behind the Magic: Advanced Computer Vision

To make this all possible, we’ve developed cutting-edge computer vision algorithms optimized for web environments. Leveraging WebGL, WebRTC, DeviceMotion, and WebAssembly APIs, our system enables real-time tracking and 3D mapping within the user’s environment. The result? Precise, stable, and immersive AR experiences—all with low latency and minimal resource usage.

• Subpixel Accuracy: By using a custom GLSL shading pipeline, our system calculates map points from the camera feed with subpixel precision. These points are triangulated into a 3D representation of the surroundings, ensuring accurate and smooth AR object placement.
• Real-Time Pose Estimation: Utilizing advanced techniques like PnP (Perspective-n-Point) and RANSAC, our SLAM system provides robust pose estimation, ensuring virtual objects stay stable and correctly positioned as users move their devices.
• Drift Correction and Map Optimization: Our system employs loop closure for drift correction and local and global bundle adjustment for optimal map accuracy, so the AR experience remains consistent, even over extended periods of use.

AR Code SLAM: A Glimpse Into the Future

Our SaaS-based SLAM solution is not just a technical marvel—it’s a key to unlocking the future of AR advertising and content delivery. Brands can now easily deploy AR videos or interactive 3D content directly from physical materials like flyers, posters, or products packaging, by integrating AR QR codes.

With AR Code SLAM, advertisers and businesses can transform everyday objects into interactive AR experiences. From immersive storytelling to engaging product showcases, our technology makes AR more accessible, scalable, and versatile than ever before.

Conclusion: AR Accessibility for All

At AR Code, we’re committed to delivering AR experiences for everyone, regardless of their device or technical know-how. Our low-power SLAM system bridges the gap between affordable and high-performance devices, ensuring that users can enjoy high-quality AR content anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s for advertising, education, entertainment, or beyond, our browser-based SLAM technology is setting the stage for a more connected and immersive world—no apps required.

Get ready to explore a future where AR is within everyone’s reach, with AR Code’s cutting-edge SLAM technology leading the way.
