Implementación de una aplicación de realidad aumentada para el control de costos en supermercados

Abstract

Abstract:The little or no possibility of identifying products in supermarkets or shops, causes disappointment when selecting a product, since traditionally there has not featured an option for obtaining additional data related to it. Technological advancements allow the identification of elements from the real world, adding information from the virtual world to a specific element. The aim of this paper is to analyze and evaluate the use of Augmented Reality as a means for recognizing images or QR codes, allowing the provision of relevant information related to a product. For that, it proposes the implementation of a multiplatform mobile application with the integration of Phonegap/Cordova that complies with international standards linked to hybrid mobile apps in the mobile web design provided by W3C, and own guidelines supplied by each mobile platform like Android and iOS. The results show the usefulness that the application offers in solving the underlying problem; identifying, viewing the details, estimating costs and registering the selected products, in this way it can take advantage the resources of the mobile devices, allowing it to be exploited properly and optimally.
