Realidade Aumentada no contexto de Computação Ubíqua: conceitos, características e ferramentas da plataforma Android

Abstract

This chapter presents the main characteristics of Ubiquitous Computing and Augmented Reality and how these technologies can be used together to improve the user experience in urban space. Moreover, we discuss the features offered by the Android platform for the creation of Augmented Reality applications based on the location of users and objects placed in the environment where the users are. To illustrate the issues covered in this chapter, we present the process of designing, modeling and implementing the Intelligent Campus app - a set of resources and services based on Augmented Reality to provide information about buildings and other objects arranged on a university campus.
