Abstract :
In the next generation ubiquitous computing, all the computing nodes would be networked using sensors embedded in the surrounding environment including wearable computing devices and smart phones. Augmented Reality(AR) is one of the ubiquitous computing technologies that can be used for realizing Internet of Things(IoT) applications. This paper deals with development & implementation of a mobile augmented reality(AR) application for language learning. Mobile AR application exploits smart phone´s processing capabilities for sensing external objects using camera, augment real world objects(images) with virtual data for learning telugu language. A simple pilot experiment was conducted to study efficacy and usefulness of developed prototype application for language learning. Experimental results validates and showcases how augmented reality can be used for language learning utilizing smart phones inbuilt camera sensor.
