  • Abstract
    This paper is a brief presentation of augmented reality solutions. Augmented reality is nowadays used in various domains with incipient but spectacular results. We question the implementation of augmented reality applications for smartphones designed to help students retrieve contextual information and navigate inside campuses and buildings. We present the research methodology and the expected contributions and results.
