software uses a marker for two
things…first, to determine
registration and tracking (where
should the content and media be
displayed) and second, what
content to display

AR browsers & interoperability
Most AR browsers display points of interest (POIs) around your current location.
Each point is characterised by several attributes like:geo-coordinates (longitude, latitude, altitude), namedescriptionimagesaddress and other information
Each AR browser has its own interface (API) and data structure to model those points of interest.

primary focus is augmented reality, whether technology, tools, applications, solutions, or content
ARML is an initiative to standardise the way points of interest are described
Extension of Open Standard, KML (keyhole markup language)

AR in education...?
Marker based or mobile?
Marker based and mobile? - Image Recognition
Lab / workshop simulations
Library archive image overlays (eg. architecture)
Virtual models for museums
Geotag OERs - channel by subject area
Google Street View with location-specific multimedia
