ARoglyph: Augmented Reality Glyph Creation

An augmented reality application that lets users create and view 3D glyphs and symbols, triggered by image recognition, for added visual information in physical spaces.

What is ARoglyph?

ARoglyph is an augmented reality application developed by The Office for Creative Research in 2019. It allows users to create three-dimensional glyphs, symbols and shapes that are then triggered to appear in the real world when the camera views a specific image.

Some key features of ARoglyph include:

  • An intuitive interface for drawing and customizing glyphs in 3D space
  • Image recognition and tracking to make the glyphs appear when viewing a preregistered image
  • Support for adding animation and interactivity to glyphs
  • The ability to overlay multiple glyphs in layers
  • Options to adjust lighting and appearance of glyphs
  • An shareable AR experience that others can view with the app

ARoglyph makes augmented reality more accessible for adding an extra layer of visual information to physical spaces. It could be used by artists and designers to prototype ideas, educators to create interactive learning experiences, marketers for branded effects or anyone wanting to attach digital content to the real world. Its simple interface allows those with no 3D modeling experience to still design and animate virtual objects tied to real imagery.
