This project involves building a functional marker-based Augmented Reality (AR) application. The tangible outcome is a program that, when pointed at a physical marker (like a printed QR code or a custom image), overlays a virtual 3D object onto that marker, making the virtual object appear as if it is part of the real world when viewed through the device's camera. This demonstrates fundamental computer vision and 3D rendering integration, showcasing how digital information can be anchored to the physical environment. The final state will be a small, self-contained application, effectively integrating camera input, marker recognition, and 3D asset display into a coherent user experience.
This project is ideal for individuals who are curious about how digital content interacts with the real world, who thrive on visible, immediate feedback from their code, and who appreciate connecting abstract concepts to concrete visual results.
