Interfaz de usuario orientada a proyectos de realidad aumentada para dispositivos móviles

Abstract

Mobile devices have become indispensable in people's lives. Augmented Reality is being used in multiple disciplines such as: electronic commerce, medicine, industries, in education. In the area of electronic commerce, sales have increased significantly thanks to this technology, more and more websites are seeing the option of AR. Integrating AR in a mobile application is a drawback due to the number of cell phones that exist and the difference that these have in their hardware components. Work has been done to improve web-based AR technology (Web AR) due to the advantages it presents compared to application-based AR, thus largely avoiding compatibility problems in different devices and operating systems, and reaching the as many of them as possible. For these reasons, the idea arose to implement Web AR in a mobile application oriented to ecommerce and developed for devices with Android and iOS operating systems. Several AR web tools were tested: Vectary, Model Viewer, A-Frame and Zappar, Onirix. In Vectary and Onirix 3D models were imported. For the other tools a server was created using Node.js and Express to host the 3D objects. The user was then allowed to access these resources through their mobile device and experience Augmented Reality using their phone's camera and a web browser. The AR web tools were then compared to identify the most optimal solution and integrate it into the mobile application.
