Abstract

Formulation of the problem. Web augmented reality (WebAR) development tools aimed at improving the visual aspects of learning are far from being visual and available themselves. These causing problems of selecting and testing WebAR development tools for beginners mastering web-design basics – students from lyceums and CS undergraduates. The research is aimed at conducting a comparative analysis of augmented reality tools for the Web to select those appropriate for beginners. Materials and methods. Analysis of sources and software to determine the state of the research problem solution and select WebAR development tools. Results. The conducted review of WebAR development tools enables recommending the following combinations of visualization tools of computer models in Web and tracking tools for real objects to beginners: A-Frame and AR.js are API to rapid prototyping of program which HTML-like code; Three.js and JSARToolKit are aimed at the advanced level providing for developing software using JavaScript. Conclusions. Software tools with augmented reality developed with mentioned pair of tools can be placed on the Internet at one of the cloud services. Because the Three.js library is the basis for A-Frame in the same way as JSARToolKit is the basis for AR.js, it is reasonable to design instructive materials for the joint application of A-Frame and AR.js. Further research is aimed at developing certain elements of teaching methods for software design with WebAR as well as the software prototype enabling using visual (photos and figures) markers to prepare vocation-oriented web-quests.
