Augmented Reality based Mobile Application for Energy Monitoring and IoT Device Control

Mobile Phone Based Augmented Reality

Mobile phones are evolving into the ideal platform for augmented reality (AR). In this chapter, we describe how augmented reality applications can be developed for mobile phones and the interaction metaphors that are ideally suited for this platform. Several sample applications are described which explore different interaction techniques. User study results show that moving the phone to interac...

Location based Applications for Mobile Augmented Reality

In this work we investigate building indoor location based applications for a mobile augmented reality system. We believe that augmented reality is a natural interface to visualize spacial information such as position or direction of locations and objects for location based applications that process and present information based on the user’s position in the real world. To enable such applicati...

Application of Augmented and Virtual Reality Technologies in Medicine

Background and Aim: Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are immersive technologies that integrate virtual and real-world elements. These technologies have been used to help and improve human capabilities in many fields. Virtual and augmented systems are used in various medical situations. They are effective options in most stages of patient treatment and performing medical procedures. Therefo...

Cityscape: An Augmented Reality Application for Displaying 3D Maps on a Mobile Device

Augmented reality (AR) is becoming a primary area of focus in the field of computer vision. The word augment originates from the Latin augmentum, meaning “to increase” or “to make greater or more intense”. Within computer vision, augmented reality generally utilizes a camera and a display to augment the user’s perception of reality. This is achieved by overlaying digital artifacts onto the fram...
