OV_05: Augmented reality applications

Introduction

The MTVA Radio and Television History Exhibition reopened in 2015 at the Pollack Mihály square in Budapest. The visitors of the museum can watch the augmented reality contents during the visit of the exhibition with an Android tablet. Near the exhibited objects there is a QR code or an iBeacon, based on which the application on the tablet can recognize the location or the actual object. After the recognition, related contents (audio and recordings) can be seen. Besides, the visitors can look into the interior of an old radio, using augmented reality. At the end of the exhibition, visitors can take pictures about themselves together with a virtual TV teddy bear and with Süsü the dragon.

During the laboratory measurement, your task will be to create an augmented reality application that could be used in a similar museum environment. Imagine that while visiting the Technical Museum or in the Electrotechnical Museum, one can see additional augmented reality contents while browsing the exhibition. In order the exhibition to be attractive, the user interface of the smartphone or tablet application and the contents (text, pictures, video) should be well prepared and designed.
