Challenges and potential implementation of augmented reality in GIS mobile devices
Discuss About The Multidisciplinary Digital Institute Proceed?
In this plan a weekly progress report will be included that will define the activities of the project and the weekly activities of the topic as the ITC571 part for the subject of the Emerging Technologies & Innovation subject.
The aim of this proposal plan is the implementation of augmented reality that will provide a scope for the future research to improve the use of the GIS application is the mobile devices. This study will focus on identifying the basic problem that can be face.
- To understand the use of augmented reality in GIS
- To apply the augmented reality in GIS
- To utilize the required technology of the Augmented Reality for mobile devices
- To identify the issue with the implementation of the GIS application in the augmented reality
One of the common limitations of the AR is the registration error. With increase in the use of mobile technology there has arise some limitations and challenges that needs to be overcome (Mekni & Lemieux, 2014). The system of AR deals with real information. Another limitation is the use of battery. The life of the battery used by the AR in GIS is limited (Lv et al., 2015).
Augmented reality digitizes the emerging technology by interacting with the physical world and effortlessly enabling the users to bring an augmented humanity (Lv et al., 2017). The organization has owned and produced Augmented World Expo (AWE). AWE is one of the largest events of Augmented reality which make an interactive world (Behzadan, Dong & Kamat, 2015). For almost 4000 professional of tech engaged in 200+ workshops, in 200+ interactive session, and 170+ AWE- inspirational talks. It is beneficial to create customer satisfaction for the companies and brands which leads to loyalty in customer and increase the market share. There is no limit to this tool to be a promotional tool, instead has become a tool for creating a relationship with the brand-customer. Many companies have begun to use it as a future tool for products and services with brand image. It has a potential of providing the customers with the experience of what they want and will share with others about it.
The literature review will perform the research based on the project. This literature will suitably identify the questions of research, analyse the thing that has found, and a conclusion has develop for augmented reality in GIS mobile.
The researcher will identify the applications of augmented reality that exist in the components of GIS that has utilized. Till date the application that has been identified include examples of augmented reality mobile games namely Pokémon Go and Ingress, Augview. Examining the solutions of AR + GIS that has better information about the question that arise regarding the issues and the technical implementation (Zakaria et al., 2015).
- In what way the augmented reality can be applied in GIS?
In this question, the researcher will indentify the potential implementation that can be either different or might not exist. Based on the answer of question 1, this question will identify the concepts examine from the literature and leverage some examples from it.
- Which of the requirements technology utilized the Augmented Reality for mobile devices?
In this question, the researcher will determine the capabilities of the device that is required for an augmented reality implementation (Jamali, Shiratuddin & Wong, 2015). This has components of the device that include memory, processor, GPS, compass, display and network connection. In this question, some investigation will be done based on the technical frameworks that are required for the application of AR + GIS for developing and delivering such combination of application.
- While implementing the GIS application of augmented reality, what issues have arises?
Literature review
In this question, the researcher will identify associated issues with regard to the AR + GIS applications. These include with unlimited availability and accuracy of data and location of the device (Avellis et al., 2015). In any case, if any issues has identified, it will investigate the potential solutions or may even compromises on the summary of the final report of the project.
Data Collection
- Articles of the Journal
- From websites that are related to IT/technical articles
- Industry specialists Technical blogs like mobile, GIS, AR
- Mobile apps of AR/GIS
- Professional of the industry that conduct a presentations in a conference
- Vendors of mobile and GIS
- Marketplaces apps of mobile platform (Carozza et al., 2014)
- CSU Library
- Search engine that are available online
- Journal database that are available online
It will analyze the resource that is found for suitability, bias, technical accuracy, and worth of it in the question-based context that will be answered (Tatzgern et al., 2016). The attribution and references has to be correctly done for all the resources for academic integrity in compliance with the requirements of the university’s (Manyoky et al., 2014).
There has been some analysis being done for this project that has identified the risks affecting the success of the project completion within time that are related to the capacity of the work and the resource management.
Risk |
Strategy of Mitigation |
Insufficiency in answering the research question as the availability of the sources are limited |
Use of alternate keywords, broaden the searches. The staff of the library gives some assistance. |
Competing with the priorities- concurrent subject & work |
Weekly activities have to be plan for both the subjects, priority given for the catch-up time (Werner, 2017). Around the milestones allocate sufficient time and plan for a leave for work study |
Fall behind the schedule |
In the progress reports, the track of the progress can be keep weekly. |
Subject and topic engagement lacking |
Using the project schedule and reports of the blog weekly keep the workload on the top |
Insufficient integrity sources for a literature review |
Looking for some alternates through the use of different origins of search engine and broader keywords |
With the current bias and knowledge the findings and research are too heavily influenced |
the sources that has to be used are critically analyzed (Chauhan & Londhe, 2017). Seeking for some alternate sources that support the viewpoints or counter to alleviate the bias of confirmation |
All equipments are wearable and have to work well with the user. It has to be smaller, light and easier to develop. Still, there are number of issues that needs to be solved to take the benefits of the respective progress. The researcher will further study about the response time delays, failure of hardware or software through the AR systems. Further, research on this area would provide a promising result.
The project has been schedules for 90 days, stating on 12th March 2018 till closure of the project by 1st June 2018. Below are the Project Plan, Work Breakdown Structure and Gant Chart.
