Three.js framework for augmented reality libraries

skarf.js

Introduction

This is a framework for handling JavaScript augmented reality (AR) libraries in Three.js.

Integrated AR libraries

• JSARToolKit
• js-aruco

Features

• Automatic loading of models when the associated markers are detected (association is specified in a JSON file). Currently supported model formats: .obj, .js and binary .js.
• Fixing of the world origin to a specified main marker, with the camera and other markers positioned around this origin for lighting/shadows to work properly in the 3D scene
• Automatic compensation for coordinate system differences between the different AR libraries and Three.js (which might otherwise lead to flipping and offsetted orientations of loaded models)
• GUI marker system which allows users to control settings using AR markers
• Expandable to fit other JavaScript AR libraries in the future

Examples

1) Tracking Three.js Scene [Demo]

   

• Tracking of a Three.js 3D scene to prevent webcam problems such as motion blur and lens distortion (for testing purposes)
• Loading of models when associated markers are detected

2) HTML5 Augmented Reality Interactive Flood Simulation [Demo]

   

• Tracking of webcam video stream
• Using GUI markers system to control user settings with AR markers
• Loading of models when associated markers are detected
• Usage of main marker to define origin
