A Study on Web Augmented Reality based Smart Exhibition System Design for User Participating

This paper aims to provide design on augmented reality (AR) based smart exhibition system to encourage user participation. If the conventional way to observe exhibition was merely on visual of the products at hand, the smart exhibition that uses augmented reality will enable users to get in-depth information not only via text, image, and video, but also through 3D virtual object in real-time basis. The proposed smart exhibition system is marker-based system in utilizing augmented reality and to resolve the problem of the limitation of one marker per one virtual object, we applied the marker array list system. In addition, with the construction of web server, it enables user to use the system ubiquitously and by outputting marker in addition to exhibition, it allows for the indirect experiences. The system, after user authentication, classifies users, and divides module into content experience (spectator) module, content authoring (participant) module and system management (administrator) module.
