Abstract

This paper introduces M2AR, a new web-based, two- and three-dimensional modeling environment that enables the modeling and execution of augmented reality applications without requiring programming knowledge. The platform is based on a 3D JavaScript library and the mixed reality immersive web standard WebXR. For a first demonstration of its feasibility, the previously introduced Augmented Reality Workflow Modeling Language (ARWFML) has been successfully implemented using this environment. The usefulness of the new modeling environment is demonstrated by showing use cases of the ARWFML on M2AR.
