Vuforia vs Wikitude: What are the differences?

Developers describe Vuforia as "* An augmented reality software development kit". It is an augmented reality software development kit for mobile devices that enables the creation of augmented reality applications. It uses computer vision technology to recognize and track planar images and simple 3D objects. On the other hand, *Wikitude** is detailed as "Mobile AR tech provider for smartphones, tablets & digital eyewear". It is a library for location based AR, image recognition and tracking for Android, iOS and Smart glasses.

Vuforia and Wikitude can be primarily classified as "Virtual Reality" tools.

Some of the features offered by Vuforia are:

  • Allow you to recognize objects by shape using pre-existing 3D models
  • Attach content onto flat images, such as print media and product packaging
  • Object Targets are created by scanning an object

On the other hand, Wikitude provides the following key features:

  • 3D & 2D Image recognition and tracking
  • Cloud recognition
  • Location based services

What are some alternatives to Vuforia and Wikitude?
TensorFlow
TensorFlow is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between them. The flexible architecture allows you to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API.
OpenCV
OpenCV was designed for computational efficiency and with a strong focus on real-time applications. Written in optimized C/C++, the library can take advantage of multi-core processing. Enabled with OpenCL, it can take advantage of the hardware acceleration of the underlying heterogeneous compute platform.
React VR
React VR is a framework for the creation of VR applications that run in your web browser. It pairs modern APIs like WebGL and WebVR with the declarative power of React, producing experiences that can be consumed through a variety of devices.
A-Frame
It allows you to make WebVR apps with HTML and an Entity-Component system. Works on Vive, Rift, Daydream, GearVR, desktop.
React 360
It is a framework for the creation of interactive 360 experiences that run in your web browser. It pairs modern APIs like WebGL and WebVR with the declarative power of React, producing applications that can be consumed through a variety of devices. Leveraging web technologies and the existing React ecosystem, React 360 aims to simplify the construction of cross-platform 360 experiences.
