Introduction to AR.js and Natural Feature Tracking

AR.js

AR.js is a lightweight library for Augmented Reality on the Web, coming with features like Image Tracking, Location based AR and Marker tracking. It is the easiest option for cross-browser augmented reality.

The same code works for iOS, Android, Desktops and even VR Browsers!

It weas initially created by Jerome Etienne and is now maintained by Nicolo Carpignoli and the AR-js Organisation

NFT

Usually for augmented reality you need specialised markers, like this Hiro marker (notice the thick non-aesthetic borders 🤢)

This is called marker based tracking where the code knows what to look for. NFT or Natural Feature Tracing converts normal images into markers by extracting 'features' from it, this way you can use any image of your liking!

I'll be using my GitHub profile picture

Creating the Marker!

First we need to create the marker files required by AR.js for NFT. For this we use Carnaux's repository 'NFT-Marker-Creator'.

$ git clone https://github.com/Carnaux/NFT-Marker-Creator
