Real-time Recognition and Information Extraction on C++ Syntax with Augmented Reality

This paper presented Augmented Reality implemented in an application called ARC++ with real-time recognition and information extraction. Application recognized the C++ syntax and displayed the information details of syntax through Smartphone to the user. In purpose of real-time recognition, we use Optical Character Recognition. Method to design and build the application is based on Prototyping model. Using markerless Augmented Reality, Optical Character Recognition and Vuforia, the application was built, installed and running on Android operating system. C++ syntax as markerless object target, use a handwritten or printed syntax. The functionality of application has been tested with various syntax categories to gain results of how well the application detect, recognize and extract information from object target syntax that has been scanned. The testing of ARC++ application is measured by the accuracy of detection and recognition. Based on the testing scenario, this application shows significantly recognitions about 70% to 100 % for handwritten syntax, printed syntax with different sizes, colors, styles and special characters. Although there is only 30% successful recognition while using underline syntax as object targeted syntax, but ARC++ can detect, recognized and extract additional information from C++ syntax. ARC++ application potentially can be used as an attractive of learning C++ syntax.
