The Effect of the Smart Navigation System Based on Augmented Reality

Abstract

Currently, virtual technology is applied to everyday life. AR (Augmented Reality) has widely become a challenger technology that brings virtual 3D images into the real world through a camera. Augmented Reality is a technology that brings virtual images that is a 3D model simulated into the real world through cameras and processing that brings objects to overlap into one image and AR can help people to understand the content easily. Hence, in increasing the efficiency of services and publicizing various information, this paper presents the smart navigation system using augmented reality based on a smartphone in the case study of Benjakitti Park, Thailand. The application can navigate users to the POI destination and the system based on mobile devices is composed of two parts: the navigation application and the bone collector game. This project produced user satisfaction at a good level and the proposed application was able to support the significant information for navigation in aspects of performance, usability, and effectiveness.
