Using Multiple On-Site Markers to Create Large-Scale Augmented Reality Experiences on Smartphones

Augmented Reality (AR) tracking for mobile devices is not realiable in environments where large virtual content, such as an entire virtual building, is to be displayed to the user. This paper presents a study on how multiple on-site markers can be used to better align the virtual scene to the real-world environment to improve large-scale AR...

Blinking LEDs, a potential solution to improve Augmented Reality interactability

Augmented Reality has the potential to expand our interaction with our surrounding environment. A potential solution to improve this interactability is Visible Light Communication through blinking Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Data is encoded and then transmitted by blinking the LED, a smart-phone camera is then pointed at the LED to decode the...
