I'm curious if a Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB RAM would be able to run a simple augmented reality application. I'm thinking of using AprilTags to anchor a basic object, like a box, that could even move around a bit. Is this possible with a Raspberry Pi 5? If not, what single-board computer would you suggest for this type of AR project?

You could definitely try anchoring a box on a video stream using AprilTags with the Raspberry Pi 5; it should handle that without too much trouble.
Yes, while you might see some drops in frames per second, it should generally work fine. However, for better performance, you might want to consider the Nvidia Jetson Nano, which is designed for tasks like this!
Do you have a specific model of Nvidia Jetson Nano you'd recommend?

Thank you for the feedback!
