【 摘 要 】

Every city is required to introduce its variety of potential assets so that the people know how to utilize or to develop their area. Potential assets include infrastructure, facilities, people, communities, organizations, customs that affects the characteristics and the way of life in Medan. Due to lack of socialization and information, most of people in Medan only know a few parts of the assets. Recently, so many mobile apps provide search and mapping locations used to find the location of potential assets in user's area. However, the available information, such as text and digital maps, sometimes do not much help the user clearly and dynamically. Therefore, Augmented Reality technology able to display information in real world vision is implemented in this research so that the information can be more interactive and easily understood by user. This technology will be implemented in mobile apps using GPS based tracking and define the coordinate of user's smartphone as a marker so that it can help people dynamically and easily find the location of potential assets in the nearest area based on the direction of user's view on camera.
