Mobile AR system for Bukit Brown Cemetery (unnamed)
Description
A prototype augmented reality (AR) application designed for use at Bukit Brown Cemetery in Singapore. The app runs on an Android mobile device and is designed to recognise landmarks such as tombstones when they are presented to the camera, using a combination of GPS location and automatic visual feature recognition. Once it recognises a landmark, the app displays video media associated with the landmark.
