AR.js Studio vs TeamViewer Frontline

AR.js Studio is a free, open-source web authoring platform for building augmented reality experiences without coding. It supports location-based projects, which place AR content at GPS coordinates, and marker-based projects, which anchor content to a black-and-white visual marker. Location projects can use a dropped pin or entered coordinates for up to 10 locations. Marker projects can use a premade marker or an uploaded image; simple, high-contrast, rotationally asymmetric markers are recommended. Uploadable content includes GLTF, GLB, or ZIP 3D objects, JPG, PNG, or GIF images, and MP4 videos. Maximum upload sizes are 50 MB for 3D objects, 15 MB for images, and 25 MB for videos. Published experiences run on the web without requiring viewers to install another app. Publishing requires a GitHub login and depends on a privately hosted OAuth server that may become unavailable. The documented fallback is self-hosting a fork and Gatekeeper. The repository is MIT licensed.

TeamViewer Frontline is an augmented-reality platform that gives industrial workers visual information and procedures for tasks including logistics, assembly, inspection, maintenance, remote assistance, and training. Frontline Pick guides warehouse work such as order picking, inventory, and sequencing with visual cues, audio, and verification. Frontline Make provides step-by-step assembly instructions; Frontline Inspect supplies maintenance steps and checklists; and Frontline Upskill supports training with animated 3D equipment models. With Frontline Assist, remote experts can view a worker’s perspective and add live annotations and instructions. The browser-accessible Command Center manages devices, users, and workflows, monitors task progress, supports remote support, and produces PDF reports. It also handles user roles and access rights and records activity in audit logs. Frontline can connect to PLM, WMS, and ERP systems, with documented SAP and Microsoft Dynamics examples. It runs in the cloud or on premises, and Workplace runs on smart glasses and mobile devices including tablets. Pricing is available on request; prospective customers can request a free 14-day commercial trial of Frontline Assist.
