There is a historic site in the Lakes Region that would be nice to see the original structures in their exact locations through one's phone camera.

Here is a large-scale example at Cahokia Mounds near St. Louis, MO.

https://cahokiamounds.org/augmented-reality-project/

I just want to do a couple of simple structures.

If I understand correctly, there are two components:

1. 3D modeling

2. Geolocation

I have tried free apps that will let you import a quacking duck on your kitchen floor. What I want though is to go to the historic site, place the 3D structures, and then create a QR for others to go see them in their original locations too.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Edit: I have held back the actual location because I'm just hoping to at least create a rudimentary version of AR to show the historical society and conservation commission. In other words, I don't have any authority at the location. I just want to show people what the possibilities are in a good-natured way.

I have alot of knowledge on 3d modeling sorta depends on your exact needs geolocation is easy when you are using the correct software.

Are there any examples already in existence here in New Hampshire? Thank you.

When using AR with Amazon or an app from the Play Store it seems to require a flat surface to place a 3D object.

Are there geolocation apps that allow for steep changes of elevation, trees, and rocks?
