Augmented reality (AR) applications have recently become popular on modern smartphones. We explore the effectiveness of this mobile AR technology in the context of grocery shopping, in particular as a means to assist shoppers in navigating to the desired products and making healthier and beneficial decisions as they decide which grocery products to buy and even do shopping while staying at home. A supermarket is a customer base premises; means the customer is the one who decides what he is going to purchase and the customer satisfaction may be crucial. In-house shopping in supermarkets has earned popularity among majority of the customers and at the same time most of the customers looking for remote shopping which they can do get the shopping experience just sitting at home. Shopping malls has combined with the IT industry and create more innovative and creative apps, which are beneficial for both the customer and seller parties. So, the main objective of this work is to design a fully functional mobile application that has an innovative positioning and navigation system using AR core technology and Augmented Reality. The other major parts of this application are customer base shopping list handling, personalized recommendations by object detection using AR and remote shopping. Overall the scope of study involves research on AR core technology, Augmented Reality and other additional technologies. The idea of this work can be broadly applied to mobile devices such as mobile phones as an added physical shopping mall functionality using above mention technologies. The proposed Easy Shopping android based mobile app has been tested at the KEELS supermarket in Sri Lanka.
