What is a Marker in AR?

Example marker

Overview
A marker can be any picture. In order to create most augmented reality experiences, a marker needs to be matched with content, as for example a 3D model, in the heijar CMS.
At the end, the end user scans with his mobile phone camera the marker and the connected content will appear.

 You ask and we deliver
On request, heijar can also provide you with a marker which is not a picture, but a geolocation (remember Pokemon Go and its arenas?). Or a 3D object. The surface of an 3D object can be augmented or would you prefer scanning your 3D object and gaining an exploded-view with tagged descriptions?
