Abstract—With the recent advances in technology, the
number of smart mobile device functions is constantly increasing.
Furthermore, with Wi-Fi and the popularity of smart mobile
devices, supplying information using the smart mobile has been
receiving a lot of attention from technology developers. The
combining of technology and education is constantly being
explored in various fields. Because of the convenience provided
by smart mobile devices, many of them are equipped with
augmented reality techniques. This study investigated the use of
augmented reality technology when applied to the ecological
environment for the purpose of campus navigation, and the
application of the augmented reality and location-based service
incorporated with audio and visual information about special
flora and fauna in a campus ecological environment to establish
an ecologically friendly environment navigation and retrieval
system. The augmented reality technology was used to render 3D
animation models and video playback with the ability to identify
images of animals and plants as well as providing directives for
users when getting near birds or plants.
