Towards the development of RSU augmented campus: An augmented reality campus guide for Romblon State University

Abstract

In this era of emerging technologies, the application of the new trends has been accepted and applied in the fields of medication, education, sports, and infrastructure. Along with current innovations comes the birth of Augmented Reality (AR), a new technology that imposes 3D images and visuals into the real world. This study aims to automate and augment the process of locating campus buildings and offices by providing information as well navigation by scanning the infrastructures' image trackers using the process of augmentation. The application will elevate the in-campus experience of the students and visitors by providing an entertaining and efficient way of navigating through augmentation. To assess the user acceptability of the application, survey questionnaires were distributed through Google forms. As for the respondents, 450 students and 50 faculty personnel were considered as the sample size. Results reveal that users believe that the application will be able to provide helpful information on the location of buildings and offices for the visitors. Moreover, results showed that the application received a high acceptability rating and in fact is needed by the users.
