I am new to Vuforia and I am creating an indoor navigation application in android and I am able to display the navigation path and user current position on the Map which any normal navigation app does. I am thinking of showing AR view which will display navigation path along with arrows (Straight Arrow, Left Arrow, Right Arrow etc) when user keep the mobile in front of him and walks. The AR navigation view path and arrows should change as user walks.
Since I already have navigation path calculated which is being displayed on the normal Map, I know coordinates of various tunr points on the path. Is there some sort of ready to use lib/api available to create such augmented reality navigation view in Vuforia?
I would really appreicate any sort of pointers/ideas.
Vuforia provides these main features:
- rendering of the camera video feed (akas "video background")
- detection and tracking of known image targets or frame markers
- exposing the Pose (position and orientation) of any tracked target/marker, so to allow your app to render 3D augmentations that are virtually "anchored" to your targets
I'm not sure if this entirely responds to the use case you describe, but you might be able to reuse some of the above functionalities.
For a more comprehensive view of what Vuforia can do, I would suggest to read our developer guide:
