1 Aim and Objective of the Experiment:

Aims:
1. To analyze the current market of AR apps and identify the most popular ones
2. To evaluate the features, functionality, and user experience of the selected AR apps
3. To compare the performance of the selected AR apps in terms of accuracy, speed, and stability
4. To identify the strengths and weaknesses of each AR app and make recommendations for
improvement
Objectives:
1. To download and install the selected AR apps on test devices
2. To test the AR apps in different scenarios and environments
3. To gather data on the accuracy, speed, and stability of each AR app
4. To collect feedback from users on the ease of use and overall user experience of the AR apps
5. To generate a report that summarizes the findings and recommendations for each AR app.

2 Theory:
Augmented Reality (AR) apps are mobile applications that bring digital content into the physical
world through the camera of a smartphone or tablet. AR technology blends the real world with
computer-generated images, providing users with an interactive and immersive experience. The apps
work by using computer vision, image recognition, and GPS to recognize and track objects in the real
world and then overlay digital content onto those objects. There are a variety of AR apps available
AR and MDS 2022-23
in the market, each designed to cater to a specific audience or purpose. For instance, there are AR
games like Pokemon Go that allow players to catch Pokemon in the real world, while social media
platforms like Snapchat offer AR filters to enhance photos and videos. Other AR apps, such as
IKEA Place, are designed for practical purposes, allowing users to preview furniture in their homes
before making a purchase. AR Measure is another example of a practical AR app, which helps users
measure distances and dimensions in the real world. AR Studio is designed for artists and creative
professionals, allowing them to create their own AR experiences.
The popularity of AR apps is growing as people become more interested in immersive technologies
and the way they can enhance our real-world experiences.

3 Code:
