Revelation of Geospatial Information using Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) is the technology that enables us to combine digital knowledge into the user's realworld space. Augmented Reality uses the existing environment to overlay digital content and information onto the physical world. The Proposed method demonstrates AR's use to provide a lively and visual representation of information about the geography of different masses on the globe and how AR can be utilized to enhance research studies and education by visualizing data collected by various statistical sources. This work helps to visualize the globe in Augmented Reality where one can overlay any OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) Web Map Service (WMS) layer onto the globe's surface and interact with it to understand the visualization of statistics around the world. Users can utilize any pre-defined marker, target or placeholders of the object, which is trained beforehand to be recognized later in the camera stream. When seeing the placeholder from the camera of phone, an augmented reality globe must appear over the placeholder. Moving the phone camera, it have to be possible to overlay any Web Outline on the globe. This application must provide an interface to choose the data such as Climate, Sea Floor Temperature, Social Progress, World Literacy information to be overlaid on the globe. Real-time information changes according to the observer's movement as if that information truly exists in the real world.
