Abstract:

AR is an immensely high technology, but it still has defects that are stopping the community from implementing it on a large scale. Nevertheless, it can change the way we look at the world. Marker-based AR provides a very immersive experience and closely mimics the real world; with this, user engagement with the user becomes easy. At tourist attractions, in more cases, the human guides charge hefty amounts, and sometimes a manual is only available in some places. This work is about building a traveler-friendly application that can introduce AR- based experiences. Android Studio was used to build the program, and we used the ARCore library as the AR rendering engine for our app. In our app, when we project the phone at an image, a video (AR scene) related to the image will be played, replacing the image in our application. This is achieved by marker-based AR and image shadowing techniques. People will be able to use it in tourist areas, and it has the potential to be better than a human guide.
