Abstract:
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the use of augmented reality in various classes, both in schools and in higher education institutions. Therefore, the development of various means of augmented reality is also relevant. However, to develop any means, including augmented reality, requires the choice of means for the development of augmented reality technologies. That is why the article aimed to analyze the available tools to develop augmented reality technologies, in particular for the education sector. The article considers cross-platform products that should be used to develop augmented reality technologies: Unreal Development, Kit, Unity, Godot, Engine, Cocos2D, MonoGame, Unreal Engine, Marmalade, and others. Also, the possibilities of known SDKs for the development of augmented reality applications (Wikitude, Vuforia, Kudan, Maxst, Xzimg, NyARToolkit, Metaio SDK) are given. It is established that for the development of augmented reality technologies can be used not only cross-platform engines but also sets of development tools. Such kits allow you to speed up and simplify the process of developing any program with elements of augmented reality. These advantages and disadvantages will help beginners to choose the most convenient tool for developing augmented reality technologies.
