DATA VISUALIZATION USING MARKER-BASED AUGMENTED REALITY TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Augmented reality is one of the fastest growing technologies in the world today. It has been incorporated in a number of successful applications and is one of the most useful and effective high-end tools for industries like E-learning, E-commerce. Although Augmented Reality is supported by most android phones these days, further improvements in features are required. The research focuses around data visualizations displayed through augmented reality. This approach helped organizations to categorize and organize data in a manner that improved market analysis and economic growth. Capitalizing on this technology further, it would be immensely helpful to educate users about different food items and their nutritional contents. The use of information graphics displayed through Augmented Reality technique would be able to provide a more comprehensive view about the food item under consideration and help users make better lifestyle choices. The visualizations of classification have been obtained in the form of confusion matrix and forwarded to the Unity engine for embedding it with the Augmented Reality application for augmenting the visualizations and displaying 3D views to the end users.
