Prototype Augmented Reality and OCR

The first prototype is based on a combined approach of optical text recognition (OCR) combined with Augmented Reality (AR). If a serial number or alternatively a bar code is detected, the data is retrieved and the corresponding areas are provided with an augmentation. This augmentation essentially consists of central product information. The second, alternative approach does without the AR functionality and focuses on optical product recognition. Products can be identified by optical text recognition, bar code recognition or QR code recognition. The product information is then displayed on a separate full-screen page of the app so that as much product information as possible can be displayed.
