I am new to Augmented Reality, and I was wondering if there was already an existing Framework available for my situation. I want to make an App that scans a non coded image (bottle, pen, phone etc.), and based on the image, sends the user to a specific video.
Is there anything like this currently available? I think this would be more marker based, but I am not entirely sure. Thanks in advance!
I have used this in my app. I found it pretty easy and it did good work in my app. Its Motorola's augmented reality framework.
You should use this if you only want a video to show up when an image is tracked: https://dev.metaio.com/creator/getting-started/
you just drag the video you want over the image you want to trigger it and then deploy it.
If you'd prefer to actually code it within a framework, you can try the metaio sdk, which also allows you use 3D objects for tracking-- i.e you said track an image of a pen, but why not track the pen itself? Tutorials and more info here:

I want to provide a service of augmented reality in my app using the location of the user. For example, if the user frames with the device's camera a monument, it must be provided a description on it.
How can i implement it on an Android app?
What framework I need to install?
Where I can find a few examples showing the basic functions?
EDIT
Rather than display the information on the monuments framed by the device, i could simply show in which direction are located certain points of interest. But, given a certain direction (eg north), how can i determine what is in that direction within a certain radius?
I think this is a whole field of study...
for example in Android, for implementing location you have to use the LocationManager.
To do the thing of the monument, you have to use iBeacon for Android for example.
Briefly, what you're looking for is "IPS - Indoor Position System". I dare to say this is not a place to ask for a "whole app projectation"
Good luck.
I have found the solution to the question above by myself. I'm using Metaio for android! It is a powerfull tool which provides a lot of examples about Augmented Reality!
i want to make an augmented reality which the building as a marker. in my research there is object as a marker for an augmented reality, i didnt found that object is a building.
. I want to know that is this possible that i can use real object (building) as a marker in augmented reality, If yes then would you suggest me that which any sdk for which will help me to build this in iPhone and android like Vuforia.
how to make a building as marker? what app that use for that ?
please help me. thank you
Vuforia is perfect for this my friend. It's completely up to you on which SDK you chose but I use vuforia so I woul suggest that. There is no app for specifically making buildings markers, instead they are methods to make it possible. These are just my views on how this can be achieved and as far as my knowledge goes, it should definitely work. There are two ways of doing this:-
Using the Vuforia Object Scanner: This is a slightly expensive approach. Since buildings cannot be directly placed under the camera for this app to function, you could get the builduings achitectural drawings and 3D Print a miniature version of it, so that it is now easier to scan.
Using MultiTarget: Well, this is basically very straightforward, the picture of the builing (that is the Front View, Side View and Plan) are uploaded into the Vuforia Target Manager and can be made into a Multitarget object and this can then be used for various applications.
I want to make a simple location based app for android. What are my (free) options. I looked at SDKs like Wikitude and Vuforia, but they are too much for my needs. I do not need image recognition and stuff... I just need to see on camera direction and distance to some coordinate - location.
Try Junaio and Metaio augmented reality frameworks. They are easy to work with. And also take a look at this Augmented Reality Framework comaprison table. You can choose GPS feature enabled Frameworks from it.
I suggest you to use api's called Junaio or Metaio. Before somedays I have just worked with it. It is very nice to work with and results are also very good with nice efficiency. Just try with it. Here is the link.
We are working on a Mobile Application which has to be developed on IOS and Android Platforms. Most of the application is straight forward which is display content from a back end CMS system for which we are considering using PhoneGap. The application has one module in which the user can browse through a virtual house and be able to modify colors / replace a particular item like a chair etc. This can be easily done using Unity3d which we have in place. Using Unity3d for the whole application is probably going to be an overkill and there will be a lot of effort required on the Application Front or if we go the PhoneGap route managing the 3d thing is going to be a challenge.
The question I have is if there is any way we can export the Unity Scene and use it in a PhoneGap build since we will get best of both packages? If not that what are the options to get Unity3d working (UI and Services for Application) for doing an Application or doing some stuff with PhoneGap which helps to get the 3d part sorted.
Thanks in advance.
Figured out he solution.
Using Phonegap completely. For the 3d Module using Panorama image and displaying it using https://github.com/nicekei/jQuery-html5-canvas-panorama-plugin for interactivity. There are many other plugins available for jquery and mobile friendly. I choose to use the above one. You can find more on http://www.jquery4u.com/plugins/10-jquery-panorama-image-display-plugins/. For walk through using annotations to link it to another page which will give a 3D Panorama for that room.
You can render stills from a 3d software and stitching them using any Panoramic stitcher Photoshop also does the job. Hope it helps.
Is there an android Framework that can be used in an app to recognize a 3D image and send the user to a video. This should fall under augmented reality, but so far everything I have viewed uses 2D image and stuff to produce a 3D image on the screen... My situation is backwards from that. I tried using vuforia but I couldn't get the sdk to work, and unity needs an android license. DroidAr doesn't seem to fit the bill either. Or are there any tutorials on this matter? Thanks.
I have not used the feature, but Metaio has a 3D object, "markerless" tracking feature as well as the ability to do video playback within the SDK. I am sure if you would rather simply redirect to a video (YouTube) or something this would not be exceptionally difficult.

Metaio's mobile SDK is similar to Vuforia, so if you had trouble with that you might have difficulty getting it up and running. If your programming skills aren't up to that, you might consider looking into Junaio, an AR browser made by Metaio. With Junaio you simply create a content channel rather than having to build the app from scratch. Again, I have not actually tried this feature yet but the documentation seems to indicate that 3D tracking is available in Juniao:

Good luck!
