Abstract

Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide detecting and decoding of visual markers that encode data. In some implementations, a visual marker is detected in an image of a physical environment. In some implementations, detecting the visual marker is based on a pre-determined portion of the visual marker. In some implementations, detecting the visual marker is based on a predefined shape. In some implementations, a visual marker interpretation scheme is determined for decoding the visual marker. In some implementations, the visual marker is decoded based on one or more colors being attributed a same value. In some implementations, the visual marker is decoded based on one or more other colors being attributed a different value.
