  • examples/contact-sharing-in-ar.html [view source] : It shows how to display informations on a per-marker basis. There is a database which contains the informations. When the proper marker is recognized, the info specific to this marker is displayed. In this example, we provide a contact sharing webapp. Everybody got his own marker. Suppose alice wears a specific marker. Bob load the apps on his mobile, and will see alice contact information when he point it to alice.
