In this era of information technology, the introduction of new and greatly improved technologies is becoming vital especially with the progressive development of computing power to fulfill current technological needs. Augmented Reality (AR) is a part of the emerging technologies that are gaining great attention and interest with new and better innovations being developed. AR is an immersive technology where it complements real-world objects together with computer-generated objects to give more details and meaning to the objects in the real world. AR has been successfully growing nowadays in many industries, mainly in gaming and entertainment, education and navigation. However, AR has not been standardized and to be widely used in navigation systems even though there are many applications developed for this purpose. This paper proposed a web-based AR-UUM Campus Navigation System using ARToolKit, that is accessible via mobile devices that uses AR to overlay the information as images of the searched location on campus, especially for indoor navigations for lecture halls, tutorial rooms, laboratories, and offices which rarely are covered by the normal maps. Based on the respondents' evaluation, they managed to successfully interact with the AR-UUM Campus Navigation System, however, some improvements are required in terms of the functions expected from the system. Nevertheless, the use of AR in a navigation system shows promising results and has the potential to be widely used due to high interest in augmented reality.
