COM704 Application Development Project: University AR Location Guide

This project details the development of an augmented reality (AR) application designed to provide users with location-based information and guidance within a university campus. The application leverages AR technology to overlay information onto the real-world environment, offering features such as street view, search functionality, directions, and offline map storage. The project outlines the application's features, including the use of camera integration, GPS, and sensor data for accurate positioning and orientation. Technical details cover the use of APIs (like Foursquare API), Android Studio, and various Android classes (LocationManager, Location, Geocoder) for location services, geocoding, and data handling. The application utilizes hardware specifications such as cameras, GPS, and sensors, and software specifications including Android Studio, the Android Runtime, and various libraries. The project also includes a discussion of critical technical aspects such as the Location Manager, Geocoder class, JSON package and Android Camera API. The application aims to provide an intuitive and informative experience, helping users navigate the campus and access relevant information about points of interest.
