Tutorial: Top 10 Augmented Reality SDKs for Developers

Tutorial: Top 10 Augmented Reality SDKs for Developers

AWE 2013 ended over 2 months ago and the amazing energy generated by attendees can still be felt: “There is a gold rush mentality in Augmented Reality” says said John Jackson, an analyst for market tracker IDC. Many new “diggers” (aka developers) are joining the space and one of the first question asked is: “what are the best AR SDKs in the market?” Luckily, Patrick O’Shaughnessey, our AWEsome CTO, did a fantastic job answering this question in his tutorial at AWE 2013. The 3 hour session lead by Patrick reviewed the best Mobile AR SDKs in the market and how to get started with them, followed by vendor presentations featuring: 13th Lab, Metaio, Vuforia by Qualcomm, Total Immersion, and Wikitude. You won’t find a better summary and comparison of the leading AR SDKs by an independent person who’s worked with literally all leading AR SDKS. And as a bonus, we top it off with an AR Design workshop by the great Mark Billinghurst! Here it is. Enjoy.

Over the last 2 years we have seen growing interest in Augmented Reality in various events – panels, dev camps, meetups – and many more. Due to growing demand for knowledge and expertise in augmented reality (AR), a group of AR industry insiders, backed by the AR Consortium have put together the first commercial event dedicated to advance the business of augmented reality. How is are2010 different from ISMAR previously touted as the “World’s best Augmented Reality event”? Well, ISMAR is still the best AR event for the scientific community. If you want to learn about (or present) the latest advancements in AR research – you should be in Seoul this October for ISMAR 2010. However, for the rest of us, who wish to take advantage of AR in practice, in the commercial world, and build a business around it – there was a gaping hole. That is, until now.
