This tool generates a high visibility augmented reality marker designed to have many available tracking points. You can select whether you would like a marker optimized for Vuforia or ARToolkit based libraries.
I am relatively new to augmented reality but one issue I observed immediately was the lack of a good resource for generating highly trackable and uniform markers. For example, Vuforia provides a great sample image but as soon as you need to expand to multiple markers, you are left tracking down (oh the puns) your own set of markers. In addition, I wanted to be able to provide a uniform look to the markers without needed to generate each one by hand. This need is what led me to create the above utility.
Do you need to generate markers on the fly? You can use our simple request API below.
https://armaker.shawnlehner.com/api/v1/generate| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | string | vuforia | Specifies the type of marker to generate. Available options are vuforia and artoolkit. |
| size | number | 1024 | Specifies the size of marker to generate. The maximum size available is 2048. |
| label | string | null | The label will be printed along the top border of the generated marker. This is useful for keeping track of your markers. |
| download | bool | true | Indicates that the request should trigger a download within the browser (attachment) |
