Mobile Augmented Reality continuously reveals its potential for practical purposes. Our current case study is one to elaborate the concept of navigation on campus, this time with the help of Apple with ARKit and for Android with ARCore. First and foremost, this may be of interest to modern companies and large universities with extensive premises and hundreds of employees who need a convenient tool to find the shortcut to a meeting room or for students who want to attend different classrooms, libraries, and other areas of the university.
How do they find it? Well, they just scan a special marker located in the required building, select their destination, and get the route on their smartphone screen — simple as that.
We divided large buildings into specific areas, whose plans are stored on the back end together with the coordinates of mentioned markers and a full list of destinations.
As GPS gets approximate coordinates, the app receives AR markers to determine user location in a more precise way. Then, as the user selects their destination, the app calculates and displays the route in augmented reality. As the user walks towards the destination, the app gets further markers for new areas and updates the precise user location. That's how it's impossible to get lost — no matter how large or complex the campus is.
Augmented Reality has become one of the most engaging means of delivering your products and services right to the pockets of your customers. Meaningful application of AR can become a novel way of interacting with your audience and bringing value to them, with improved visual recognition and emotional attachment.
Our example is an augmented business card. It certainly distinguishes itself among those collected by your potential business partner at the conference where you met. Your card becomes a source of information about your company, a link to your social accounts and email, and a screen for your video pitch.
This example involves the image tracking feature introduced by ARKit 2.0 in iOS 12. It allows tracking images on physical objects and fitting virtual images with them — in our case creating an augmented business card — a nice way to use Augmented Reality for marketing.
The parking industry is changing rapidly. Now, there is a growing demand for unmanned parking spaces where customers can park their cars and make payments automatically. To meet this need, we have developed a new type of parking payment kiosk. The project represents an IoT-based tool on which we have embedded the Android operating system with a 10″ touchscreen.
Our solution works as a layer providing secure work conditions between all external applications and the payment hardware.
Each parking kiosk has connected to the internet. By this way, App work fine in poor internet network.It's the achievement to connect our IOT device with android app with third party SDK.
