Facebook launches AR effects tied to real-world tracking markers

Facebook's augmented reality camera evolves by triggering the AR experience at precise places using position markers in the real world as well as self-timer masks and randomly placed 3D objects. Today, Facebook tested that TechCrunch tested the closed beta features and promoted the next Ready Player One and Wrinkle In Time movies. And in April we plan to add a tracker based AR to AR Studio tools available to all developers.

[Update 4/5/18: Facebook now allows developers to build tracker based AR experience. ]

A new Ready Player One effect of Facebook camera features took a picture of a movie poster and covered the window of the world of virtual oasis. If you can not find the actual poster, you can use the poster image on the computer. This is a demonstration of the experience.

"In the future, I believe that AR will spread to the world around us, instead of a short" capture and share "conference that is seen today, AR is a hidden data layer that you access through the device I will sit on. Facebook camera manager Product manager Matthew Simari told me

"This experience is simple, but this is our first instantiation.Your cell phone is a magnifying glass, so you can observe hidden experiences (keywords) through reality to places and things all over the world The AR that experiences a sustained transition currently has a direct background, so it is more powerful as it relates directly to your location and target, "he said.

TechCrunch reader Paul Gailey tweeted about AR plan developer Everywoah on planning to release Facebook's new AR features at SXSW this weekend and discovered that Ready Player One's posters are scattered. Facebook launched Camera Effects Platform and AR Studio for the first time in F8 less than a year ago, but there was no big improvement except December published AR Studio to all developers.

Using AR tags, we can provide a wider range of AR content while actually knowing where Facebook is in the real world. This prevents the smash, glitch moment when Facebook's standard unmarked AR error interprets the space and surface shape around you. Snapchat seems to have not used tags to AR lens so far.

When Facebook opens tag-based AR with AR Studio tool, external developers can start to create an experience that leads to physical space. Once upon a time, Facebook used a Like Button sticker in the company to occupy a place in the real world. Then it allows the location to set the AR experience for their visitors and is tied to a similar sticker. Unlike untagged ARs, users must voluntarily consider using Facebook cameras, tags can be used as promotional reminders, and intangible content is waiting to be unlocked.

Recently, many people are excited about AR and "augmented reality". Twitter has lots of cool demos. Facebook launched their camera effect platform. Apple has an augmented reality development kit and demonstrated a gorgeous AR game with their iPhone X event. Google introduced a series of experiments with ARcore. Magic Leap is still secretly released and released a game similar to the demo. Hot dog dance is obviously "the world's first augmented reality superstar".

Today, Facebook tested that TechCrunch tested the functionality of closed beta and advertised the next movie of Ready Player One and Wrinkle In Time.
