This project is an Augmented Reality (AR) navigation system designed to help passengers in Horsens easily find the correct train platform and route to it.
Instead of reading confusing signs or maps, the passenger can follow a clear blue AR navigation line displayed directly in the real world.
The goal of the system is to make train station navigation simple, intuitive, and accessible for all passengers, including tourists or people unfamiliar with the station layout.
