Apps have several advantagesThis doesn’t mean that you necessarily need an app; most of the time a good, mobile-ready website is enough.Apps should serve a specific and frequent need - if a user doesn’t feel the urge to use the app regularly, they will not download it.

● Can be used offline● More user-friendly user interface● More fast/responsive than web page● Better access to hardware-related functions

○ Camera, GPS○ Microphone, Bluetooth ○ Touch ID, Face ID

● Much better at handling AR (augmented reality)

Medical app vs. App as a ‘medical device’

t is strictly regulated if an app can become a “medical device”. It is because healthcare apps are becoming part of daily life – but using an unregulated medical app might just result in life-threatening consequences. Those apps that are about to be registered as medical devices have to undergo several assessments to prove that they meet certain requirements.These rules are changing from time to time, we recommend to check each health and/or medical apps with the responsible authority.

There are three common solutions currently on the AR app market.

Marker-based Markerless

Marker-based AR uses the camera to scan physical images, “markers”,

then triggers a certain computer-generated content.

Markers can be AR-codes, physical objects, or printed images

Markerless AR applications do not use markers obviously, however, they use

pre-baked content and 3D models which run within a downloaded smartphone

application anyway.

For AR mobile apps the user has to

download an app from a secure link or from one of the application stores. From user aspect it is not the most comfortable solution. People do not want to download separate applications because they fear from the storage limitations.

With WebAR user does not have to download any application. The AR only needs a link/URL. This URL could be routed from a website, embedded into a QR code, etc. Technically these WebAR solutions are also ARKit and ARCore solutions but embedded into web browser.

WebAR Limitations

Due to the fact that it runs in a web browser the models has major

limitations in terms of polygon count, models size and texture quality. For best results the model size must be

under 50Mb (incl. textures).
