Abstract

MapShop is an Android application specifically designed to facilitate local shopping by merging traditional retail experiences with advanced mapping technology and augmented reality (AR). This solution not only addresses the challenges that arise with physical shopping, such as locating products and discovering real-time discounts, but also promotes local businesses by connecting them with potential customers based on proximity and product availability. By incorporating privacy-centric data handling, MapShop prioritises user security and data protection, all while delivering tailored recommendations and AR-guided navigation to selected shops. The application serves as a comprehensive solution in today's fast-paced urban environment, bringing together convenience, real-time data, and technological sophistication.
