What Is a Location-Based AR Application?

Location-based AR app is a geo-based augmented reality that doesn’t need any special markers for identifying where to place a virtual object in the real environment.

Such applications use GPS data and digital compass, a combination that works pretty accurately, to determine one’s device location as well as its position. The location-based AR apps then send queries to the device’s sensors and decide whether they should add the virtual object based on the acquired data.

These applications can function both outdoors and indoors using GPS and beacons.

Some of the most powerful technologies for the development of AR applications of different kinds these days are Apple’s ARKit and Google’s ARCore.
