An augmented reality (AR) WYSIWYG editor allows users with limited to no coding knowledge to create AR experiences. AR WYSIWYG editors offer drag-and-drop functionalities that enable AR developers to upload 3D objects, which are referred to as target images, and drop them directly into previously designed scenes. They should be tracked and detected by the camera’s view so they may be overlayed with HTML content. An AR WYSIWYG editor stores these target images and lets users go back and edit them. These tools are ideal for those looking to develop an AR mobile application.
An AR WYSIWYG editor may work in tandem with an augmented reality SDK, which is catered to AR developers with more technical expertise. Applications developed with a WYSIWYG editor may also integrate with hardware that supports AR, such as a mobile phone.
To qualify for inclusion in the Augmented Reality WYSIWYG Editor category, a product must:
Offer users the ability to drag and drop uploaded 3D images into its platform
Store uploaded target images for further editing
Script logic for AR scenes so editors can manipulate how 3D objects behave
Produce scenes that are compatible with corresponding hardware
