Abstract
In this paper we present a prototype of a novel augmented reality navigation system able to provide information about the public transport system within a city via an AR interface on a mobile device. The system is able to provide point-to-point directions including directions to tram and bus stops, real time monitoring of public transport schedules and monitoring of user transit. Contrary to existing other AR solution, the system that is described herein constantly monitors users’ journey and is able to ‘guide’ him in urban scenario with minimal interaction. The functionality of the system has been tested in an urban environment. The system AR engine and the data interfacing engine collecting and processing information regarding public transport has been created from scratch for the purpose of this system.
