Prof, this is an excellent idea and I believe it has a lot of potentialities of both educational and commercial use. I have tried HiTLab’s BuildAR. Use of ‘osg’ format of 3D can give good rendered playback, however, it is quite difficult to export from 3DMax even I used plugins exporter. BuildAR supports other 3D formats, however, 3ds format can only render solid color and no texture.

I have tried both paid and free version of BuildAR. Paid version can track image as a marker. But the tracking is poor and the realtime rendering gives a ‘shaky’ or ‘vibrating’ view of the 3D object. Black & white square marker (i.e. Hiro) provides strong tacking in both version. I have used BuildAR for an exhibition of 20th anniversary of Architecture Discipline, Khulna University, Bangladesh.

If you are interested, I am ready to explore more 🙂

Hi Erik

I did this last year for a poster competition at UCL, London. I won top prize, so it must have been well received! I used Junaio as the software – mainly because it is really easy for anyone to download the app to their mobile device and then scan the QR code – which points them at the right AR channel.
