Abstract:
The article considers cross-platform products that should be used to develop augmented reality technolo-
gies: Unreal Development, Kit, Unity, Godot, Engine, Cocos2D, MonoGame, Unreal Engine, Marmalade,
and others. Also, the possibilities of known SDKs for the development of augmented reality applications
(Wikitude, Vuforia, Kudan, Maxst, Xzimg, NyARToolkit, Metaio SDK) are given. It is established that for
the development of augmented reality technologies can be used not only cross-platform engines but also
sets of development tools. Such kits allow you to speed up and simplify the process of developing any
program with elements of augmented reality. These advantages and disadvantages will help beginners to
choose the most convenient tool for developing augmented reality technologies. In addition, the article
attempts to identify criteria and indicators for the selection of such environments, as well as their expert
evaluation.
