Análisis Comparativo de la Productividad de las Herramientas para Realidad Aumentada Vuforia y Layar del Sistema de Información Móvil de Infraestructura Física de la Espoch.

Abstract

This research paper is a comparative study of productivity of Vuforia and Layar augmented reality tools in the construction of a mobile application of infrastructure information of Electronics & Computer Science Faculty at Escuela Superior Politecnica de Chimborazo, with the intention of showing information of physical infrastructure in 3D by means of scoreboards recognition. Being the Augmented Reality an emergent the technology that allows visualizing real environments combining virtual environments characteristics to show information through a mobile device with operating system Android. The research hypothesis was raised using scientific method bases on the problems in order to advance to the experiment in the prototypes Vuforia and Layar by means of the comparison of lines of code source, effort being the used time and the productivity, the statistical software SPSS is used for the analysis by means of the statistical test t of Student of two independent samples with a 95% of confidence and 5% of margin of error applying descriptive statistic and inferential. It is concluded that the Vuforia tool productivity is statistically equal to the productivity of the Layar tool with a value of significance of 0.345 superior to the alpha value of 0.05. it is recommended to use the Vuforia tool in the development of mobile applications for augmented Reality for being of free code and allowing the scalability with a web application for the content management.
