Geo Location Based Augmented Reality Apps

In a nutshell, augmented reality(AR) works by layering 2D or 3D virtual content on top of real world locations and objects, which can be accessed using smart devices such as phones and tablets and also wearable technology such as smart glasses.

AR technology can be broadly classified into four types :

Marker-less or location based AR

Most AR apps today fall into the first two categories – marker-based AR and location-based AR.

Marker-based AR primarily uses image recognition features to display virtual information overlayed on specific objects.

With the release of Apple’s ARKit and Google’s ARCore, phones that support augmented reality applications are steadily becoming available to consumers everywhere.
