Abstract

Marker Based Augmented Reality requires files and resources that have to be loaded from storage such as a local machine or a web server. We proposed a resource-independent method of transmitting AR content by encoding resources such as 3D model files as QR code and using the QR code itself as the marker. The AR system does not need any online and local storage. We processed the content to best fit it into the QR code. Larger contents are then split to multiple QR codes and the data is joined together by the application on the other end.
