| Summary: | This project studied and developed a mobile information hub that transforms a mobile device into a portable information terminal which provides various information services. Two applications, i.e. augmented-reality campus guide and mobile phone logo recognition, have been selected from a wide range of mobile phone information services for implementation.
A Layar browser was built to provide augmented-reality campus guide services in Nanyang Technological University. Based on GPS localization technique, this application presents augmented information, i.e. nearby landmark description and contact information, on top of the real world if viewing from the mobile phone camera after identifying the mobile phone’s location. Designed for fresh students and visitors, this augmented-reality service greatly enhances the perception of the real world and provides convenience. Website, database and mobile phone programming were involved in this part. |
