    CAWN
    (Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus., 2020-11-20) Salman Ali; FA16-BSE-099; Muhammad Mohsin Mehdi; LHR TP 6234
    CAWN is designed for COMSATS University, Lahore campus navigation purposes. As one of the trends of development on Augmented Reality and betterment of navigation technology in the 21st century, different types of advancements have been researched and developed to implement a better navigation way in many countries. GPS (Global Positioning System) is amazing technology because tracking our location through satellites thousands of miles above our head is really tremendous. But for walk navigation purposes, it can really be a bad idea as GPS location is not always a hundred per cent accurate and even few meters off the real path can create real frustration for the user. While Augmented Reality here, uses exact location data when integrated with GPS showing the user real-time surroundings and navigations through the camera screen of the smartphone’s screen. This type of navigation is not for driving purpose navigation but really helpful for the users wanting walking purpose navigation. If we talk about a faculty member or student of the COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore as an example, then Augmented Reality based navigation is more helpful for them if they’re looking forward to wandering through the campus. CAWN, when completed, will have two modules or components, one for Augmented Reality based navigation and the other one will navigate through GPS i.e. Maps/Street View.
