A prototype application of stickAR to enhance note-taking activity by using augmented reality technology

Abstract

This paper presents the work-in-progress StickAR mobile application prototype which enables the users to record real life events such as images or video recordings alongside with their physical notes. It also provides the users with the utility of information retrieval by using the AR scanning interaction to get the relevant information immediately. The StickAR application uses the Unity3D API for frontend, assets management, and server communication logic, meanwhile the Vuforia SDK is utilized for the AR scanning interaction. All the information and assets are stored in the HTTP server. This paper also focused on the reproducible methodology that consists of the use case descriptions and system architecture to build the application. The functionalities of StickAR are demonstrated in the result section which includes the key AR information retrieval feature for immediate access to the requested information based on the physical notes. Its potential and risks are also discussed in the SWOT analysis.
