Desktop based Augmented Reality Application

I am developing an AR based Application which contains around 30-50 models. Is it possible to develop it on Android cause there might be Memory problem in mobile devices. Is there any Desktop based AR API/SDK that can be used with 3D animation??

Does desktop application include WebGL applications in the web browser?

If so, then you might want to check out skarf.js, a framework that I have written for handling JavaScript augmented reality libraries in Three.js (JavaScript 3D library that wraps WebGL). It currently integrates two JavaScript-based augmented reality libraries: JSARToolKit and js-aruco.

The skarf.js framework takes care of a number of things for you, including automatic loading of models when the associated markers are detected (association is specified in a JSON file). There is also a GUI marker system which allows users to control settings using AR markers.

Integration with Three.js is just one line of code to create a Skarf instance and another line of code to update.

There are videos, live demos, source codes, examples and documentation available. Check out http://cg.skeelogy.com/skarfjs/ for more info.

Yes you can create an android application for augmented reality. There are many applications on android market especially, the one in GPS. However handling 50 models might cause a memory problem. However in high end devices like Samsung Galaxy S4 and Note 2, i dont think so you might face memory issue. Further you can also place your models in a dedicated server from where your application can fetch it. This can reduce the chances memory issues.

Some basic examples for AR on android are given here:

AR application for desktop i haven't worked on it. I think this might help:
