Abstract: Augmented Reality or AR is an emerging technology in which one’s perception of the real-time environment is enhanced by superimposing computer-generated information such as graphical, textual, or audio content, as well as objects onto a display screen.

In this paper we propose an android based mobile application which will be compatible with all the existing and upcoming versions of the android OS. The idea is to allow the user to view the virtual object in the real world. The user must provide images of the virtual object which would be the front, back, top, bottom, and left and right side pictures of the object. They will be placed onto a 3D cube which will make up the complete virtual object. Thus an extended environment will be created through the amalgamation of real world and generated object and it will appear as though the real-world object and virtual object coexist within the environment.

The advantages of this application as compared to the already existing 2D applications are that it would display the virtual object in 3D and enable the user to rotate it virtually. Also the user need not actually purchase the object to see how it fits in the environment; instead he can try before the purchase itself.

1. Introduction

Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.[1] The idea of AR is to take a real-life scene, and add some sort of explanatory data to it so that you can understand it better. For example the Wagon Wheel displayed to show the amount of runs scored in each direction in cricket field in a cricket...
