Abstract

With the introduction of the Android system, smart phones are growing faster and more easily with internet access to smart phones, user location information can be quoted anywhere at any time with ease. With this growth, many new technologies are introduced and to be very beneficial to the Users as they can be used with the existing technologies/applications in various fields. One of the major technologies introduced is Augmented Reality, this can be used to interact with the real world using virtual objects and videos. Augmented Reality based Technology enables the provision of a variety of information such as photos and placement of buildings in the travel field. This field can also be used in the Navigation as discussed in this paper. Most of the unconventional virtual programming used for the Visual Trace Way (Marker and Marker less method). For visual tracking, digital tagging and digital information should be provided while the Non-visual Trace Way requires the use of Hardware (G.P.S, sensors etc.). Most navigation requests can only show the path from the user's current location to its destination. In this paper, the design and implementation of augmented reality system are discussed. It will use a welldesigned smart phone camera and GPS to display user-centric information in real time on a smart phone. The proposed app will combine G.P.S location technology with tracking technology to provide the user with basic information about the building they want or one they are close to.
