Abstract
This article describes the design and implementation of an online mobile app that is capable of locating deals and displaying related information on a digital Augmented Reality window through a smartphone’s camera. This application is a two-tier client-server architecture. A deal must firstly be registered on our website by an entity, separate from regular users. DealTeal AR makes use of the camera view to overlay digital information of locations around you, according to the direction from your current location in the real world. When you tap on DealTeal AR, it shows a view through your smartphone's camera. Cards appear showing information or deals pulled from DealTeal's database about businesses - restaurants, hotel, points of interest and more. With advanced augmented reality technologies such as computer vision and object recognition, the deals are overlaid on the real world and becomes interactive. In order to improve the application’s efficiency, a virtual terrain modeling interface with deep learning to improve the building recognition ability was also used.
