Using augmented reality and geo-location in android mobile devices to visualise time dependent data

Abstract

Nowadays, the use of augmented reality is becoming increasingly common for visualisation and providing solutions in mobile applications. In this thesis project, an augmented reality environment is designed, implemented, integrated and validated. It provides an actual platform that affords both geo-location and time dependent management system for events of interest. Those events based upon time progress and priority of tasks, is carefully designed for providing a dynamic scheduling platform which meet, at the same time, interactivity provided by the application as a whole and user interaction as well. This is tested with very demanding validation experiments that assert the use of best practices for scalability design as well as providing an adequate guidance for further work in the area of augmented reality engines which use geo-location with time dependent data visualisation.
