Open Source Apple iPhone Augmented Reality Apps

With the AR MultiPendulum app, I created the world’s first AR headset experience that does not rely on expensive specialized hardware. Using Google Cardboard, a standard iPhone, and video footage from the phone’s camera, the app creates an AR headset experience by rendering the user’s surroundings in VR. Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that overlays virtual objects over the real world. For years, AR experiences have been available on smartphones through handheld AR apps. In 2016, Pokemon Go popularized AR, overlaying virtual characters on a map of the world. Beyond that, AR has only played a minor role in the average person’s life, being used for a few occasional tasks such as measuring objects or testing out furniture. By interacting with detailed 3D models of the human body, surgeons can run through the steps of surgery and learn from mistakes in an environment that will not endanger a patient’s life.

Lvr contains the 3D and WebVR boilerplates required to get running across platforms including mobile, desktop, Vive, and Rift. It works on any phone with WebGL and WebRTC. HTML is easy to read and copy-and-paste. Since Lvr can be used from HTML, Lvr is accessible to everyone: web developers, VR enthusiasts, educators, artists, makers, kids. It is completely open source and free of charge! Lvr is a powerful framework on top of three.js, providing a declarative, composable, reusable entity-component structure. While Lvr can be used from HTML, developers have unlimited access to JavaScript, DOM APIs, three.js, WebVR, and WebGL. Lvr is a thin framework on top of AR.js and A-Frame. Although A-Frame uses the DOM, A-Frame does not touch the browser layout engine. Performance is a top priority, being battle-tested on highly interactive WebVR experiences. It runs efficiently even on mobile phones!
