This paper describes the case study of applying projection-based augmented reality, especially for dynamic objects in live performing shows, such as plays, dancing, or musicals. Our study aims to project imagery correctly inside the silhouettes of flexible objects, in other words, live actors or the surface of actor's costumes; the silhouette transforms its own shape frequently. To realize this work, we implemented a special projection system based on the real-time masking technique, that is to say real-time projection-based augmented reality system for dynamic objects in performing arts. We installed the sets on a stage for live performance, and rehearsed particular scenes of a musical. In live performance, using projection-based augmented reality technology enhances technical and theatrical aspects which were not possible with existing video projection techniques. The projected images on the surfaces of actor's costume could not only express the particular scene of a performance more effectively, but also lead the audience to an extraordinary visual experience.

With the recently developed glass type devices, augmented reality is expected to provide more intuitive interaction and be actively used in work environments leaving the hands free. In addition, since eco-friendly new types of cars were launched in the automobile industry, there has been a shortage of skilled maintenance personnel. In order to solve this problem, using augmented reality technology based on Hololens can make it possible to deliver the exact information in real time in various maintenance situations. Therefore, this study intends to evaluate, compare and analyze the user experiences of augmented reality contents in the field of car maintenance between mobile devices and Hololens and use the results as the materials for creating novel services in the future.
