| Summary: | This project paper is about Augmented Reality (AR) using location-based visualization and
implementation on the smartphone devices. That is partly because smartphone comes packed with built-in
sensors have grown and become popular over the years. This will explore the interactive and interaction
Location Based Services that AR allows on Android devices. The use of mobile applications and
advancement in mobile technology such as Global Positioning System (GPS), compass and accelerometer
sensors are able to identify and determine the location and orientation of the device, location-based
applications with augmented reality views are possible. AR combines the real world with virtual, the
integration of information in the user's environment in real time, the user interaction techniques of
representing rich, intuitive information data of the real world. The AR application which typically takes
the image of the integrated camera, positioning location as a representation of the real world and project
objects on top of this image to create the AR view. The research was initiated by exploring and reviewing
literature related domain and existing AR application available on Android devices. There are a number
of AR applications available and the rapid development of Android smartphone devices has provided an
improved platform for the application of mobile AR technologies. Developing application will help the
researcher explore the topic while going through this technology. The aim of this study is to develop a
combination of location-based information and AR features by blending both visual, map-based and nonmap
based elements like live projection of a nearby landmark on camera preview on mobile devices,
utilizing free and open source software development tools. In the context of this paper a prototype
application, based on the Android platform and Mixare engine library is developed. This paper showed
the initial thoughts on this application and overall process that leads to the final system development. This
report describes MyARTGuide, a prototype application of augmented reality designed to be run over
Android based smartphone. The user can now look through their phone as if taking a picture to look at the
augmented world which leads to a better user experience. MyARTGuide is developed for experiment,
simulation and to test the AR functionality of these project objectives is not a fully functional product.
Thus, there are still more areas that can be improved and new features can be added. With the use of AR
and Andorid technology it is possible to spread the experience which will be shown in this report. (ABSTRACT BY AUTHOR) |
