Ghost Hunter: A Handheld Augmented Reality Game System with Dynamic Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The progress of handheld devices has encouraged many researchers to make efforts to use handheld devices as an augmented reality platform. However, one of the important problems is a lack of immersion and reality due to small display. To overcome this problem, we introduce dynamic environment which consists of some movable structures and their controller that enable changes of virtual world to affect the real world. It has an effect on expanding the user’s view limited by the small display of the handheld device. We have also developed the game content, ‘Ghost Hunter’, which is suitable for this platform.
