The following thesis report explores the development, design, and usefulness of MUSE, an Android application that facilitates the integration of 3D models with QR codes to enable augmented reality (AR) visualization. This study analyzes the current status of AR and its applications in various fields and how our designed application could be best utilized. The paper discusses the technical specifications and functionality of the MUSE application, including its interconnected nature with the game engine Unity and the importation, exportation, and visualization processes of 3D models. The study concludes by evaluating the potential versatility of MUSE in different scenarios, such as education, marketing, and entertainment. The results show that MUSE provides an accessible, user-friendly, and cost-effective solution for displaying 3D models in AR. Through this, we hope to make AR a more accessible and viable presentation option for individuals who use 3D models the world over.
