Atlink Communications presents a sophisticated mobile application that uses augmented reality technology. This app allows users to place images or text on top of objects detected by the phone's camera view, based on their geo-location. It also includes a server-side web application for users to place graphical images at specific locations using Google Maps.

Agenda • Introduction • Project Goal • What is Augmented Reality • Problem Statement • Solution • Demo • Technical Details • Technical Challenges • Lessons Learnt • Conclusion • Future Work
Introduction • Smart phone users along with mobile apps are rapidly increasing. • According to Millennial media and DIGIDAY, 2011 will be the Android year. 2010 2011
Project Goal • Develop an Android-based augmented reality (AR) mobile application through which images or text can be placed on top of the objects of the phone camera view based on the geo-location of the objects detected by the phone. • It will also develop a server-side web application where users can place graphical image at a specific geocode (location) using Google Maps.
What is Augmented Reality • Augmented reality (AR) refers to the technology that offers a real-time view of one's immediate surroundings altered or enhanced by computer generated information. • When users examine their environment through AR devices, they see information superimposed on the objects around them.
Problem Statement • Let us consider you are at a UHCL open house, we want to distribute the schedule of today’s program. How you can do that?
