Information visualization with Augmented Reality (AR) technology environments is very effective method in the expansion of information process visually, especially in health-related area by using mobile devices. In this study, Android mobile device is proposed to build and develop AR prototype applications for nutritional information. There are two techniques that are applied in generating nutritional information, which is detection (by scanning image of the object without requiring barcode/AR marker) and tracking (by using Android digital camera). Data from the above techniques were represented in a visual form of a gauge meter utilizing some color coding. The result from this study is to provide user's understanding in nutritional information visually so that it could potentially improve their health.
