Location and orientation based augmented reality mobile application for enhancing heritage landmark history and information

Abstract

Augmented Reality technology in Mobile Device can provide better experience for people to to access and gather information at the location of cultural heritage or tourism landmark point in cultural heritage and historical tourism. Currently, the AR implementation research in cultural aspect hardly explored about the sensing algorithm of the cultural object that ignite the AR and the algorithm's complexity in detail. In this paper, we we propose geodetic location based tracking algorithm that has low computational complexity compare to the object based tracking which required heavy computational complexity for image processing algorithm. Based on the testing and implementation evaluation, our application can mark the cultural heritage or historical landmark and overlay it with the story behind the place to enhance the visitor experience.
