Mobile devices have become an enormous platform for augmented reality (AR) technology to meet the need of users to experience the charm of AR technology in anytime and anywhere. However, the development of mobile AR technology is currently in a dilemma. Both extensibility and real-time are often challenging to be taken into account. In our study, we explored cloud-based solutions and designed two systems, S-MARC, and D-MARC. The first system boldly tried the idea of cloud technology supporting mobile AR and explored more possibilities for combining location information. The cloud-based mobile AR design optimization scheme is proposed in our study details. Besides, we invited some users to carry out experimental studies, and their user evaluations showed that the mobile AR cloud solution was implemented in both systems and received excellent feedback in the review. The results show that the proposed two schemes are superior to others in the performance and efficiency, and help to improve the current dilemma of mobile AR and build up users' confidence in the application of mobile AR.
