Development of a Navigation System on the University Territory Using Augmented Reality Technology

AR navigation is one of the interactive ways to use augmented reality. By displaying virtual guides in physical space using a smartphone, users can navigate from point to point more naturally than by comparing the map to their immediate environment. Thanks to this great advantage, AR navigation can help in searching both inside the academic building and on the territory of the institute. In this paper, the authors used 3DUnity and AR Foundation to create a navigation system around the territory of NTU "KhPI" using augmented reality technology. This development will allow you to navigate the terrain of the KhPI campus, find the location of the desired building, and also look the route from building to building on the map. The whole process is displayed on the smartphone screen. Real-time synchronization allows users in real world to feel virtual space, thereby enhancing poignancy and interaction, and making effect more vivid and almost real.
