Annotation in outdoor augmented reality

Annotation, the process of adding extra virtual information to an object, is one of the most common uses for augmented reality.

In this paper, we propose a taxonomy of annotation, describing what constitutes an annotation and outlining different dimensions along which annotation can vary. Using this taxonomy we also highlight what styles of annotation are used in different types of applications and areas where further work needs to be done to
