Augmented Reality Navigation System on Android

Abstract

With the advent of the Android system, smart phones are rapidly developing and through the conveniency of accessing internet on the smart phones, a user’s location information can be accessed anywhere and anytime easily. Augmented Reality Based Technology enables the provision of variety information such as pictures and location of buildings in the navigation field. Most of the augmented reality program used to Visual Trace Method (Marker method and Markerless Method). For the Visual Trace Method, the marker installation and digital information should be assigned while the Non-visual Trace Method requires the use of hardware (G.P.S, sensors etc). Most navigation systems can only show the path from a user’s current location to their destination. In this paper, the design and implementation of an augmented reality program is discussed. It will use the smart phone’s inbuilt camera and GPS to display a user’s surround information in real time on the smart phone. The proposed system will combine the G.P.S location-based technology and virtual trace technology to provide the user with basic information about a building they are looking for or one in their immediate surrounding.

Analyzing the Impact of Augmented Reality on Student Motivation: A Time Series Study in Elementary Education

“…This is supported by its advantages, namely being able to combine several virtual objects such as 3D, video, images and sound into the real world [39,40]. It's also quite easy to implement because it can be integrated directly with each student's Android device [41,42]. With these advantages, teachers can help students improve their communication skills in learning [43].…”

Design and implementation of an augmented reality mobile application for navigating ATM counters (AR-ATM)

“…Thanks to the introduction of smartphones, that act as virtual guides in physical space which supports AR. AR is a more advanced kind of virtual reality in which a real-world image is supplemented with technology-generated perceptual data and viewed through a smart device like a smartphone camera (Chung et al , 2016). Unlike virtual reality, which produces a completely manufactured environment, AR works with existing environment and overlays new information on top of it.…”
