Have you ever heard of location based augmented reality ? If not undoubtedly you are in the right place to know about what augmented reality is and how it is used for location based tracking.

Location based Augmented Reality

Augmented reality is a technology that enhances the virtual elements into real world to create interactive 3d user experience and other hand location based augmented reality is a markerless geo based augmented reality that doesn't require any marker to identify the virtual object location and in marker based ar the brands should connect to the merchant location, here in location based augmented reality does not require those type of connections, that's why this technology is called the geo based, position based markerless augmented reality connects to the GPS and identify the users location. In recent days most of them are using modern mobile devices with high accuracy sensors and it is a mandatory feature for all the mobile users especially used in the automotive industry for location tracking.

How Location based Augmented Reality works

Real time location systems(RTLS) play a major role in location based AR that detect the user's current location to identify the sensor information.When the mobile app receives that information and compares it with Point of interest(POT) and specifies the virtual objects to place in the real world. To know about the markerless augmented reality you must have complete information about the indoor and outdoor markerless AR where Indoor augmented reality identifies the mobile device current location and outdoor augmented reality uses the Global Positioning Systems(GPS).

Industries that uses Location based Augmented Reality

Let us discuss major industries which are using location based AR applications providing solutions by using this cutting edge technology.

Education : Everyone knows that technology has changed a lot, especially in the education system. Augmented reality completely changed the traditional education system process and made it easy for the students with 3d objects to understand the classroom subjects.

In the education industry marker based technology was used in most of the cases but in few subjects like Astronomy and Geography location based AR plays a crucial role to understand the lessons.

Construction : Especially in the construction industry it is not possible to know the final product output before completing the entire construction process, and if any changes happen in measurements, it becomes a big issue. To avoid this situation augmented reality provides a solution by using location based AR to build their dream house with required measurements and borders.

Tourism : Using Augmented reality in the tourism industry was boundless and day by day it increased the users traveling experience. This cutting edge technology helps tourists to find and visit the most popular new locations quickly by using the mobile devices through a navigation app. Location based augmented reality with navigation apps improves the usage of navigation systems.

Advertising : Augmented reality creates a revolution in the advertising industry by promoting products and it is much cheaper than the traditional advertising to enhance the users by providing the real time experience to users to sell the products. Also location based augmented reality visualizes the products on their surroundings by using a feature called AR try-on.

Gaming and Entertainment : Gaming industry develops many new games based upon the users requirements by using location based AR.Pokemon is one of the best examples that it creates a sensation in the gaming industry that millions of people are interested to play this game to find out the Pokemon in their nearest surroundings.And also most of the companies are interested to develop this type of location based augmented reality games to increase their marketing reputation.
