An augmented reality application for Android smart phones

Augmented Reality (AR) is a generic term for associating interactive 2D, 3D objects that blendswith our physical reality, sometimes through a camera during this case, with an associated Androiddevice camera. By definition, augmented reality (AR) will be alive, whether directly or indirectly,and will be able to distinguish items in the actual world that have been enhanced by computergeneratedsensory input like sound, visual images, or GPS data.. The “AR system” mobileapplication is constructed by taking photos and videos of a specific building among a University(as example) and making a presentation (by scanning all pictures). While a user focuses his/herAndroid device camera on a specific image of any building inside faculty, the informationassociated with that specific department is displayed, when “recognizing” that building from thearchived photos.This paper aims to developing an Android augmented reality application that will have the aptitudeto point out university field connected information like libraries, schools, and courses offered froma specific department. All this information is offered by obtaining sensing element knowledge fromyour Android device camera and overlaying pictures in real-time. This application will also help < br />University students to induce information concerning events, faculty, department, or explicitdepartment connected courses with only a click on this application. This AR application usesVuforia as a package platform and C# as a programming language that provides superior visionbasedimage recognition and offers the widest set of options and capabilities to enhance theUniversity field guide for the scholars to induce to understand their University faster and easier.The appliance has been prototyped of a set of field buildings.
