Abstract

A mechanism is described for facilitating dynamic rendering of non-visual marker-based augmented reality experiences on computing devices according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting non-visual data. The non-visual data may be captured via one or more capturing/sensing components of a computing device. The method may further include mapping the non-visual data with one or more augmented reality items to generate a first augmented reality experience, wherein the non-visual data is converted into one or more non-visual markers based on the one or more augmented reality items and one or more contexts, and rendering the first augmented reality experience based on the one or more non-visual markers.
