This project was carried out by Media Engineering and Media degree programmes at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, with the purpose of showcasing 3D models of historical sites to tourists as an augmentation of reality. To address the requirements, a system consisting of a server side web application and an Android mobile application were designed and implemented.
The web application was built on Amazon EC2 cloud, using Linux, MySQL, PHP and Apache as a server environment. An admin site was created for user to upload 3D models, and a web service was built using the principle of representation state transfer (REST) to provide a public interface to outside world. The mobile application was developed on the Android platform using Android SDK and Metaio SDK. It is a standalone Android application capable of displaying AR content with no dependency to internet.
The results proved that a system of deploying 3D models through a web client and displaying them as a form of augmented reality on an internet-disabled mobile client was feasible. With the rapid growth of mobile computing power and accuracy of inertial sensors, more features can be brought to the mobile client, such as location based tracking.
