Prevalence of overweight and obesity among adolescents is becoming a global problem facing                       

individuals across the developed and developing countries. At present, mobile diet monitoring                     

application that available in market are designed based on eating habits and physical activities of western                             

societies.

This app focuses on implementing diet monitoring application for Malaysian overweight and obese                       

adolescents using augmented reality technique on Windows Phone 8 platform. The architecture of the                         

application consists of Augmented Reality engine and user interface which are integrated in Microsoft                         

Visual Studio. SLARToolkit was used to build the Augmented Reality engine which is used for marker                             

detection.

Based on testing and evaluation results, it shows that the application can help adolescents in diet                             

monitoring. There were 17 respondents out of 22 respondents aged between 14­19 years who filled in                             

the self­administered questionnaires were satisfied with the application. This app can potentially benefit                       

to the Malaysian adolescents and indicates promising future works in the area of Augmented Reality for                             

Windows Phone 8 platform.

This app can promote to the fast food restaurant in Malaysia where the marker can print on the cup or                                     

box or other packaging. Thus, customers can view the nutrition info of the food while their consume in                                 

the restaurant.
