Description
Summary:This report is a preliminary step onto developing Augmented Reality places of interest application of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). As of 2007, UTP holds the recognition with the prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture in Malaysia. Having said that, domestic as well as international visitors annually visit UTP to apprehend the unique and award winning design of its campus. But the current problem which persists for visitors is the need for a guide and lack of a general source of information regarding the university's campus during their visits. With such problem in place, it is therefore extremely pivotal to have an Augmented Reality mobile application that will help them find significant places within the campus itself. This allows them to explore the entire university through their mobile phones and have useful information at the touch of their fingertips. The project will involve several phases; firstly the construction of the Augmented Reality application itself, followed by the analysis and design of the rules for the Augmented Reality application, the development of the Augmented Reality application, further testing and finally the implementation of the Augmented Reality application. These implementations, using the Rapid Application Development methodology with the Prototyping approach was further refmed through the research and studies as well as feedback obtained from colleagues until it appropriately meets the objectives.
