How to Place Virtual Artwork on your Wall in 15 Minutes or Less

Always wanted to add some artwork to your wall but found it to be too expensive? Try adding virtual artwork instead! This is a demo iOS app that allows users to add a picture from their camera roll to a vertical plane (like a wall!). The pictures are added with a picture frame, which is a 3D model brought in from echoAR. The full demo can also be found on echoAR’s GitHub.
