Mobile augmented reality (MAR) has exploded in popular-ity on mobile devices in various fields. However, building a MAR application from scratch on mobile devices is com-plicated and time-consuming. In this paper, we propose CloudRidAR, a framework for MAR developers to facilitate the development

Abstract: Tourists usually request precise and tailored information while exploring a destination. They need accurate information about accommodation, restaurants and tourist attractions, amongst others, in order to make the most of their experience. Mobile Augmented Reality (AR) can help tourists

We have developed a system built on our mobile AR platform that provides users with see-through vision, allowing visualization of occluded objects textured with real-time video information. We present a user study that evaluates the user's ability to view this information and understand

Recent years have seen growing interest in mobile augmented reality. The ability to retrieve information and display it as virtual content overlaid on top of an image of the real world is a natural extension to a mobile device equipped with a camera and wireless connectivity. Such applications need

architectures have to be designed with consideration to the special requirements imposed by AR. In particular, augmented reality requires real-time facilities to track the user's position and viewing direction. In the past, various carefully calibrated sensing devices have been used for this purpose

-time and in meaningful context with environmental elements. With the help of advanced Computer Vision technology the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally usable. Augmented reality is getting a lot of attention these days- particularly the use of AR with smartphones

ABSTRACT Computer Vision (CV) approaches, e.g., as the basis for mobile Augmented Reality (AR), depend on continuous Internet access for image uploads and large-scale Internet databases to perform image recognition against comparison images. This dependency impedes the ubiquity of applying CV

Prüfungsbehörde vorgelegen. Darmstadt, den 28th February 2014 (Denis Lapiner) This Master’s Thesis proposes and implements a game design for an Android based massively multiplayer online augmented reality game. The proposed game design is based on an analysis of other popular aug-mented reality games

In this paper, we discuss how the sensors available in modern smartphones can improve 6-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) localization in wide-area environments. In our research, we focus on phones as a platform for large-scale Augmented Reality (AR) applications. Thus, our aim is to estimate the position

(u-learning). Android is breaking new ground for mobile computing and open technologies. Android is versatile as it is not limited only to mobile phones, but it can be installed on various devices. Android gives developers the opportunity to leverage their development skills, while also building
