Open Source C++ AR Development Software

ArUco is a minimal library for Augmented Reality applications based exclusively on OpenCV. Relies on b/w markers with codes that are detected by calling a single function. Trivial integration of your augmented reality applications with OpenGL and OGRE. See documentation at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OiavRVYVJ-WH88sQg1LUsh8CuJZUQyrX/view?usp=sharing

OpenCV-AR is a software library used for Augmented Reality development. It is targeted on Linux, though it is also able to work on Windows platform. It is an alternative to ARToolKit for Augmented Reality application development.

This library contains among other things a set of graphical widgets for video output, performance evaluation and augmented reality. The library also provides classes for several data types usually required by computer vision and image processing applications such as vectors, matrices, quaternions and images. Thanks to a large number of wrapper functions these objects can be used with highly efficient functionality from third party libraries such as OpenCV, GNU Scientific Library, Computational Geometry Algorithms Library, Intel's Math Kernel Library and Integrated Performance Primitives, the Octave library, etc...

Simplified interface to the Augmented Reality library ARToolKit for Python and other programming languages.

ARDev is an augmented reality toolkit to assist robot developers in debugging complex robot sensors.

The main feature of ApertusVR is the so called "Distributed Plugin-in Mechanism" which means that not only humans could be involved in a multi-user virtual reality scene but any element of the Internet of Things like hardware, software, robot or any kind of smart device. ApertusCore is a programming library written in C++11, that fulfills modern software requirements as it is modular, embeddable, platform-independent, and easily configurable. It contains basic software interfaces and modules for logging, event-handling, and for loading plugins and configurations. It is also responsible for distributed data synchronization. ApertusVR is a set of plugins that extend ApertusCore with XR (AR/VR/MR) capabilities, which help to integrate XR technologies into new/existing developments, products rapidly. It creates a new abstraction layer over the hardware vendors in order to use different display and control devices in any product or service.

Library for algorithms of Augmented Reality with a application to demonstrate it. Programmed in C/C++ and OpenGL.

AMIRE is a project about the efficient creation and modification of augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) applications. AMIRE provides the tools for authoring AR/MR applications based on a library of Components.

This application is a simple text label editor and viewer on the second dispaly port. The main usage is for testing text styles on video see trought head mounted display (es. google glasses).

IrrAR is a combination of Irrlicht and Augmented Reality to create the most rapid development platform for augmented reality at the moment. IrrAR creates 3D "nodes" out of real lifer markers to let you insert your 3d world into the real world.

Minerva is a multiplatform framework that provides a high level language to specify Augmented Reality applications in a very easy way, equivalent to Blender GameEngine. More info, please visit theminervaproject.wordpress.com

Mr.Planet is augmented reality software with a simple interface for users. The user is able to link 3D models with his favourite CAD editor with a great variety of Augmented Reality (AR) patterns (link animations and others)

The OpenSUSE Augmented Reality (OSAR) distribution is the first GNU / Linux appliance created for the exclusive development of applications with augmented reality technology and games with computer vision.

A new academic framework for augmented reality based on QVision and OpenCV. The project includes augmented reality detectors based on black&white patterns and natural features.

Fusion of ARToolkit and Ogre3D, SimpleAugmentedReality is a augmented reality application which can display a 3D model over a live video stream from a webcam. Tracking of the object is handle by ARToolkit pattern.

This project aims to develop an interaction framework based on body detection by webcams, identifying the skeleton shape (hands, arms, head, legs etc), for games, virtual reality, augmented reality and other applications.

SudaRA is a C++ framework based on ARToolKit for development of Augmented Reality applications, offering features such as support for 3D models, sound, network, multiple-marker tracking, among others through a simple and well-structured interface.

utymap is a library that provides a highly customizable API for procedural world generation using real vector map data, e.g. OpenStreetMap, NaturalEarth. Core logic is written on C++11 and can be used on many platforms as it has no dependency to the specific game engine or application framework. It is designed for interactive world creation at different zoom levels, including globe and street level. The simplest way to explore the project is to check the source code of demo scenes. Import scene shows how to import map data from a file. Please note, that import and rendering logic depends on maps rules which means you cannot use arbitrary mapcss with the arbitrary data format. Elevation scene shows how elevation support works. Please note, as the scene loads multiple tiles at once, mapzen server might reject some of the requests. Also, first-time loading takes time, just wait a little bit and restart the scene again.
