HOME DÉCOR TESTER WITH AUGMENTED REALITY

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information. Augmented Reality arguably is the most efficient way to realistically visualize object without to have to worry about cost, and spaces. Android smartphone is one of many ways to utilize augmented reality. This thesis will try to implement augmented reality to help people who want to visualize the perfect home virtually. The application will be able to enhance the user’s natural world with virtual information by using the phone camera as a way to connect between the natural world and the augmented world and their phone screen to overlay it. The application will use ARCore API to integrate between virtual and real world. Main features of the application are anchoring multiple objects, deleting an anchored object, and capturing the mix of virtual and the real world into phone memory as a picture.
