Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is transforming how users interact with digital content by overlaying virtual elements onto real- world environments. This paper presents an AR system developed in Python that integrates real-time object recognition to enhance user experience and interaction. The system utilizes computer vision techniques, leveraging pre-trained deep learning models such as YOLO (You Only Look Once) or MobileNet with OpenCV and TensorFlow for efficient and accurate object detection. Detected objects are dynamically highlighted and overlaid with contextual information or virtual annotations within the AR interface. The implementation involves capturing live video feed through a webcam, processing each frame to identify and classify objects, and rendering AR elements aligned with the detected objects' positions. This approach enables educational, industrial, and assistive applications, such as interactive learning tools, smart inventory systems, and real-time navigation aids. The modular design ensures flexibility for integrating additional features like gesture control or voice input. Overall, the system demonstrates how combining object recognition with AR in Python can create intelligent, responsive, and immersive applications.
