Model targets

Model targets recognize objects by shape using digital 3D models. Create AR objects-on multiple targets from multiple views-on industrial equipment, vehicles, and toys.

Area targets

Area targets utilize 3D scans of a location and are designed for experiences in large, indoor spaces. Create AR objects anywhere in your environment.

Image targets

Image targets are the easiest way to create AR objects on flat objects such as magazine pages, trading cards, and photographs.

Multi targets

Multi targets are for objects that have flat surfaces and multiple sides or contain multiple images. Product packaging, posters, and murals all make great multi targets.

Cylinder targets

Cylinder targets enable you to place AR content on objects with cylindrical shapes. Soda cans, bottles, and tubes with printed designs are great candidates.

VuMarks

VuMarks allow you to identify and add content to a series of objects. They’re a great way to add information to product lines, inventory, and machinery.



External camera

Access video sources outside of phones, tablets, or AR glasses with external camera.
