This paper presents a Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) system for coastal erosion visualization based on geographical data. The system is demonstrated at the beach of Georgioupoli in Chania, Crete Grece, in challenging, sunny, outdoors conditions. The main focus of this work is the 3D on-site visualization of the future state of the beach when the shoreline will inevitably progresses in-land based on the impact of severe coastal erosion, taking place across the Mediterranean sea but also worldwide. We feature two future scenarios in three locations of the beach. A 3D sea segment is matched to the user’s actual position. The visualization as seenthrough a smartphone’s screen presents an unprecedented seamless view of the 3D sea segment joined with the real-world edge of the sea, achieving accurate registration of the 3D segment with the real-world. Position tracking is performed by utilizing the phone’s GPS and the computer vision capabilities of the presented AR framework. A location-aware experience ensures that 3D rendering is space-aware and timely according the user’s position at the coast. By combining AR technologies with geo-spatial data we aim to motivate public awareness and action in relation to critical environmental phenomena such as coastal erosion.
