Geolocalización con realidad aumentada de espacios físicos de la universidad distrital francisco josé de caldas

Abstract

Augmented reality is a technology that combines the real world with virtual elements to improve the user experience in different environments. This technology has managed to transform the way we interact with buildings and urban spaces.

The application of augmented reality has been used in a variety of applications within the physical spaces we frequent every day, from entertainment and tourism to education and training. But how does augmented reality work? It is a technology that uses electronic devices such as smartphones or smart glasses to provide real-time digital information about a physical environment.

Augmented reality in buildings enriches the user experience, making it more immersive and interactive. Visitors can access contextual data, historical details, 3D views and multimedia content that complement and enrich their visit. Universities with their large flow of new students or those who move between faculties have the great problem of locating themselves between the different buildings and spaces that the university offers, additionally, it can be observed that there is no guide or map of each of the different locations. In order to achieve better interaction and location of the sites within the Francisco José de Caldas District University, an intuitive tool is designed for mobile devices in order to improve the augmented reality experience of the location between the different spaces of the Francisco José de Caldas District University. In this research, the software components used to carry out the development of the tool are presented, as well as describing which physical hardware components were used for it. The methodology used for this project is SCRUM, which is based on adaptability and continuous improvement. As teams work in iterative cycles, they can respond quickly to changes and feedback, incrementally delivering the product and maintaining the flexibility to adjust priorities according to the changing needs of this project.
