Technical Specifications for WebAR

Content Management System: where you can simply drag and drop any video you'd like into the file hosting server.
video attachment to indicate the process.
File format specification for video is .mp4
Any solid color background in the video, as long as the color does not appear within the actual video content

Features:

both image target & SLAM tracking on the AR content side.
Self service upload of videos is a custom feature which can build bespoke for you,
using a script that allows the iframe URL to update automatically, and allowing you to host the new videos within your own server.
Embed this AR experience inline, within an existing website e.g. smallstage.ca.
This is done through the use of an iframe.

USER Story:

The user opens their camera and is prompted to open a web browser.
QR code takes users to the Small Stage website page which has this interactive app on it.
video content will pop up and play on a camera-facing plane.
Once over, credits and information would be displayed.
The intention is to have an installation with several QR codes inside of the diorama. Each QR code will have its own animation.

CONCLUSIONS:

We found an on-line service that provided everything we wanted.

8th Wall's platform offers a complete set of tools to create interactive web-based augmented reality — no app required.
