Mapping Ararat: An Augmented Reality Walking Tour for an Imaginary Jewish Homeland

Augmented Reality: An Overview

We define Augmented Reality (AR) as a real-time direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment that has been enhanced/augmented by adding virtual computer-generated information to it [1]. AR is both interactive and registered in 3D as well as combines real and virtual objects. Milgram’s Reality-Virtuality Continuum is defined by Paul Milgram and Fumio Kishino as a continuum that s...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

An Introduction to Augmented Reality

An Authoring Framework for Augmented Reality Presentations

In this thesis, the design of APRIL, an XML-based language to create content-rich Augmented Reality (AR) applications and interactive presentations, is presented. The state of the art of hardware and software for AR systems is analyzed, to deduce the key concepts and features of APRIL. One central feature of APRIL is the separation of an application’s content from the description of the hardwar...

Calibration Method for an Augmented Reality System

In geometrical camera calibration, the objective is to determine a set of camera parameters that describe the mapping between 3D references coordinates and 2D image coordinates. In this paper, a technique of calibration and tracking based on both a least squares method is presented and a correlation technique developed as part of an augmented reality system. This approach is fast and it can be ...
