AR-based Sustainability in Food Development

This paper presents the design, prototype implementation and primary evaluation of an AR-based mobile application for promoting sustainable food development mainly from a customer point of view. Related work shows that AR may raise awareness of customers, travelers and food professionals in sustainability food issues but there is no application that expresses them in a holistic way. After discussing what constitutes food sustainable development, the qualitative characteristics of the application are defined. A partially functionable prototype is presented that contains the main interactivity and gaming activities. Primary evaluation results show that end-users find useful the application and favor its complete implementation.
