DESCRIPTION
The presentation for my final year project in the specification, design and prototype development of an Augmented Reality interface for mobile phones to aid the navigation of a space (exhibition, university campus, urban space, etc.) through video content. Using an Augmented Reality toolkit, the contents and interaction scenarios will be specified to the visitors to Bunratty Folk Park, Co. Clare.
