<br/><br/> "This study presents "Manila AR.Venture," an Android-based augmented reality (AR)<br/>mobile application designed to enhance the exploration and navigation of Manila City.<br/>Designed as a comprehensive travel guide and directory, the application seamlessly<br/>integrates AR technology to offer an immersive and informative experience for exploring<br/>the city. Its primary aim of enhancing travel exploration is achieved through several key<br/><br/>features: (a) an AR map displaying relevant 3D landmarks upon plane detection, (b) a user-<br/>friendly filter system to categorize landmarks, (c) interactive 3D landmark models with<br/><br/>detailed descriptions, and (d) an outlining AR feature for enhanced navigation,<br/>implemented with an A* pathfinding algorithm to determine optimal routes within the city.<br/>The development of this system utilized Unity 3D, Blender, Mapbox API, and Unity<br/>AR+GPS asset. A comprehensive evaluation, involving 30 respondents from diverse<br/>backgrounds—15 IT professionals, 7 students, 5 Manila residents, and 3 tourists—was<br/>conducted to assess the application's acceptability based on ISO 25010 criteria. These<br/>criteria encompassed functional suitability, usability, portability, and performance<br/>efficiency. The evaluation results indicated an overall frequency score of 3.41, denoting a<br/>descriptive rating of Highly Acceptable." -- Author's Abstract
