This section introduces what a Marker is in the GeoAR.it AR environment.
📍 What is a Marker?
- 🪄 Markers are interactive points you can “throw” in real-time using the GeoAR.it app’s augmented reality view.
- ⚡ Unlike hotspots, markers are not predefined—use them to quickly tag any spot or object as you explore.
- 🌈 They enable dynamic, spontaneous AR experiences on the go.
This section highlights what makes markers flexible and powerful in the app.
🔑 Key Features of a Marker
- 🔄 On-the-Fly Placement: Throw markers anywhere—no need to plan ahead or set up via the website.
- ⚡ Real-Time Interaction: Use markers as navigation points, placeholders, or quick notes for AR content.
- 🌐 Dynamic Integration: Adapt to changing situations—drop a marker for a friend to find, or mark a temporary meeting point.
This section explains how markers and hotspots differ in GeoAR.it.
⚖️ Marker vs Hotspot: What's the Difference?
- 📍 Markers: Thrown live in the app; temporary, flexible, and not linked to a venue.
- 📌 Hotspots: Predefined on the website; static, permanent, and always linked to a specific venue.
This section gives examples of when to use markers in real life.
🌟 Marker Use Cases
- 🎉 Event Coordination: Organisers can drop markers on-the-fly during festivals or events to guide crowds to new or temporary locations.
- 🗺️ Exploration: Users can tag interesting spots or create a personal trail as they move around a venue or city.
This section describes how markers are managed and how they fit into the wider platform.
🛠️ Managing Markers
- 📲 Markers are managed directly in the GeoAR.it app for quick, spontaneous use.
- 🤝 They’re designed to complement the fixed, long-term nature of hotspots, giving users ultimate flexibility in AR navigation.
