A Platform for location based Augmented Reality Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Augmented Reality (AR), enhancing a user’s perception of the real world with computer generated entities, and mobile computing, allowing users to access and manipulate information anytime and independent of location, are two emerging user interface tech nologies that show great promise. The combination of both into a single system makes the power of computer enhanced interaction and communication in the real world acces sible anytime and everywhere. This paper describes our work to build a mobile Aug mented Reality system that supports true stereoscopic 3D graphics, a pen and pad interface and direct interaction with virtual objects. The system is assembled from off-theshelf hardware components and serves as a basic test bed for user interface experi ments related to computer supported collaborative work in Augmented Reality. It also describes some applications we are developing in the area of location based computing.

متن کاملLocation 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...
