Result: Optimizing augmented reality navigation over wireless networks using efficient point cloud streaming and compression.
Further Information
Augmented Reality (AR) navigation systems have emerged as a promising tool for enhancing indoor wayfinding. This paper presents an efficient AR-based navigation application implemented et al.-Nahrain University, Baghdad. The system leverages point cloud data captured using a depth camera and streamed over wireless networks. Two server approaches are employed: a local server for point cloud hosting and compression and live servers for localization and navigation services. A custom compression method achieves ratios of 24:1 to 35:1, significantly reducing data sizes. Utilizing HTTP/2, the system demonstrates remarkable performance improvements in frame rate and latency, especially over 5G networks. Tests show latency reductions of up to 94.6% in 5G scenarios and notable frame rate enhancements. These results highlight the system's effectiveness in enhancing real-time AR navigation experiences, particularly in large indoor spaces like campuses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
