Recently, researches on augmented reality(AR) are actively being conducted, and on addition of AR in social network system has become a necessity. In this paper, we propose GPS-based AR system for social network. This proposed system adds the recent check-in coordinates by automatically synchronizing a friend list in facebook and represents those added location coordinates in a real-world environment by using AR. Marker-based AR system that was commonly used by existing users consumes too much storage space and processing frequency for driving handle devices. But, location-based AR application can solves the disvantages of the standard marker=based AR system. Therefore, this proposed system allows an user with iOS hand devices to use GPS-based AR system by automatically searching the optimal speed for wifi and 4G. This will improve social network service.

Recent research on Augmented Reality is Actively expand and Augmented reality feature added to the social network system (Social Network System) has become a necessity. In this paper, GPS-based Augmented Reality System for Social Network is introduced, is proposed. This system can add recent check-in friends in facebook by automatically to synchronizing the location coordinate, and it could also adding location coordinates system is represented in a real-world environment by AR, is Marker-based AR system that was Commonly used AR system is a huge cost by handheld devices in processing and storage space, the disadvantages of the marker-based AR systems can be solved by using Location-based AR applications. Therefore, the proposed GPS-based Augmented Reality System for Social Network, automatically searches for the optimal speed for Wifi and 4G network to iOS Hand AR system was desired in future.

While lots of new mobile applications are being developed, applications that provide positional information by using LBS (Location Based Service) have become popular. For instance, smart phones are able to find my location and a destination easily by using GPS, which installed in the instrument, and run the program. However, these existing positional information applications can find the location of only one user at a time. These programs are not able to find out accurate directions from current location to the destination. This paper suggests a case of system development which solved some of the problems in the implementation of existing applications using LBS. The suggested system to solve these issues, having multiple users to share positional information and showing directions, run by AR (Argument Reality). In daily use, this application would be very efficient for location people in the vicinity.

Recently, augmented reality(AR) based building information applications using a smart phone provide information in the static form irrespective of the distance between a user and a target building. If many target buildings are located close to each other, discrimination of information is reduced due to overlapping information objects. Furthermore, it is difficult to intuitively grasp the current position of the user in the previous AR-based applications. In this paper, to solve these limitations, we have designed and implemented a novel building information system in which the location and size of information objects are adaptively displayed according to locations of a user and target buildings, and which allows users to intuitively understand their location by providing a 3D map that displays the user's location and all target buildings within a given distance in real-time. The AR-based building information application proposed in this paper focuses on the building guide in Deoksu Palace in Jung-gu, Seoul.

As the recent advances in network and wireless communications and semiconductor design and process technologies, our computing platform is rapidly shifting from desktop PCs to mobile devices such as UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC), Tablet PC, and Smartphone. Especially, wide-spreading Smartphones allow a new field of application based on location based services available with an user interface called augmented reality (AR). Therefore, this paper introduces an implementation of AR using various OpenAPls on Android Smartphones. In order to utilize enrich user data in real time, the system integrates with location based social network services also with OpenAPI. These APIs enable third-party developers to make use of rich contents of many portal web sites. The prototype was implemented on the real Android phone, Sky Sirius, and the result shows that it can provide an efficient location based service using AR technology without any constraints on mobile devices; in addition, it connects SNS to AR for sharing user data including photos, videos, and messages based on a specific location.

Most of public underground facilities are installed under the ground, thus it is difficult to recognize the accurate location even with the drawings. Studies are conducted to understand exact position of underground facilities using augmented reality. However, in those studies, establishing of additional 3D object model database is needed when AR system is used at field. Because most of public underground facility information are established as 2 dimensional. In this study, AR system is developed as mobile application which can use original 2D underground facility data to transfer 3D AR data automatically without additional 3D database establishment.

Recently, with the popularization of smartphones, augmented reality has become even more familiar to the public as an application that can provide realistic images as a tool for location-based services. Therefore, as a location-based application for smartphones that is appropriate for the application of augmented reality technology, the study develops a golf information system. Golf is the sport for which we should exactly know the accurate shape or distance to the destinations or obstacles, so the sport is suitable for applying the augmented reality technology. Even though the sport of golf has constantly increasing population to play it with the popularization of it, presently released golf-related smartphone apps are established as 2D images or in GPS basis; thus, they lack a sense of realism unfortunately. Thereupon, this study develops a golf information system by modifying and complementing usefully Mixare, the open source for augmented reality, for the sport of golf into an augmented reality-based system that can provide various information according to the actual environment of the golf course and describes how to apply it actually to the golf course.
