Augmented Reality Application Based on Information Barcoding

In this paper we present the augmented reality application based on information barcoding. Tricolor barcoding is used for creation of meaningful augmented reality markers. Barcode markers allow to achieve two purposes: defining location and orientation of virtual objects in an augmented reality scene and storing information about these objects. To enable storing larger amount of information, we propose to use a method of tricolor barcoding with data compression. The developed augmented reality application is focused on museum exhibition extension. It can also be useful for other augmented reality use cases where textual information about virtual objects is required along with the virtual objects appearance.
