Description

The Argon Augmented Reality Browser was the worlds first Augmented Reality browser based on open web standards. Argon2 Isotope is the next step in the revolution started by Argon, seamlessly integrating advanced AR technology with iOS web technology. Argon2 Isotope enables traditional web developers to combine the iOS device hardware sensors with advanced computer vision tracking technology, making it simple to move the Internet off your desktop and into the world around you. Argon2 Isotope delivers AR experiences exactly the same way traditional web experiences are delivered, by entering a URL into the address bar. Visit the Argon developer site to see how to create your own AR-enabled web site. A getting started guide is available on the Argon website http://argon.gatech.edu

*** For best results we recommend an iPhone4s or later. Argon2 Isotope leverages a variety of iOS device sensors including the camera, gyroscopes, compass, and accelerometers.

Following the same development model as a traditional web browser, Argon2 Isotope is designed to allow rapid development and deployment of Web 2.0 style AR content. Argon2 Isotope exposes a suite of Javascript APIs into iOSs built-in web renderer, allow developers to define a channel of augmented reality content delivered from a standard web server. This powerful combination allows easy authoring and hosting of interactive AR content, with complete control over the presentation and interactivity experienced by the user. Augmented reality experiences can be designed using existing web technologies, including HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Just about anything that can be presented in the iPhone's Safari web browser can be pushed out into 3D in the world around the user.
