🖼️ ARnft - WebAR with NFT

A small javascript library to develop WebAR apps. It is based on jsartoolkitNFT a lighter version of jsartoolkit5 only with NFT markerless technology. It uses ARnft-threejs for the rendering part.

🚀 Start using it !

1️⃣   Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/webarkit/ARnft.git

2️⃣   Install the npm packages with yarn:

yarn install

or with npm:

npm install

3️⃣   Run the node server:

npx http-server

4️⃣   Go to the examples:

http://localhost:8000/examples/arNFT_example.html

5️⃣   Point your device 📱 to the pinball image 👇 a red cube will appear !

🏎️ SIMD Feature

The ARnft library now includes support for SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) to enhance performance by parallelizing data processing tasks. This feature is particularly useful for applications requiring high computational power, such as augmented reality.

To see the SIMD feature in action, you can try the arNFT_simd_example.html example:

http://localhost:8000/examples/arNFT_example.simd.html

📦 Usage

Download the zipped dist lib package from the releases page: webarkit/ARnft/releases and import it as a module:

<script type="importmap">
    {
        "imports": {
            "three": "./js/third_party/three.js/three.module.min.js",
            "arnft-threejs": "./js/ARnftThreejs.module.js",
            "arnft": "./../dist/ARnft.module.js"
        }
    }
</script>

<script type="module">
    import * as THREE from "three";
    import arnft from "arnft";
    const { ARnft } = arnft;
    import ARnftThreejs from "arnft-threejs";
    const { SceneRendererTJS, NFTaddTJS } = ARnftThreejs;

    // Follow code for rendering ect. see the examples.

or you can use raw.githack services (for development):

<script type="importmap">
    {
        "imports": {
            "three": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/three@<version>/build/three.module.min.js",
            "arnft-threejs": "https://raw.githack.com/webarkit/ARnft-threejs/master/dist/ARnftThreejs.module.js",
            "arnft": "https://raw.githack.com/webarkit/ARnft/master/dist/ARnft.module.js"
        }
    }
</script>

<script type="module">
// as the above code snippet

or raw.cdn (for production, you need to add the hash):

// As the examples above import three.js, Arnft-threejs and Arnft in an importmap
"arnft": "https://rawcdn.githack.com/webarkit/ARnft/<hash>/dist/ARnft.js"

or if you want to import as a module with npm:

// In your package.json:
"devDependencies": {
    "@webarkit/ar-nft": "^0.14.9"
},

// Then in your .ts or .js file
import { ARnft } from "@webarkit/ar-nft";

📚 Documentation

You can build the docs with this command: yarn docs Then run a live server and go to the docs' folder.

🌟 Features

• NFT (Natural Feature Tracking) Markers, read my article: NFT natural feature tracking with jsartoolkit5
• SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) support for enhanced performance.
• ES6 standard. You can install it as a npm package and use it as a module (experimental). Install it with npm:

npm i @webarkit/ar-nft

or with yarn:

yarn add @webarkit/ar-nft

• Configuration data in an external .json file.

• Filtering of the matrix with the OneEuroFilter.

🛠️ Format the code with Prettier

We are using Prettier as code formatter. You only need to run yarn format to write the formatted code with Prettier. If you want to check if the code is well formatted run instead: yarn format-check

🔧 Build

If you make changes to the code, run these commands to build the distribution library, install all the dependencies with:

yarn --include=dev i

For a development build, that is the code will be rebuilt for every change, run:

yarn dev-ts

Instead for a production build, with more optimizations in the code and smaller size, run:

yarn build-ts
