“…Thomas et al, (Thomas et al, 1998) proposed the use of a wearable AR system with a GPS and a digital compass as a new way of navigating into the environment. Moreover, the ANTS project (Romão et al, 2004) proposes an AR technological infrastructure that can be used to explore physical and natural structures, namely for environmental management purposes. Finally, Reitmayr, et al, (Reitmayr and Schmalstieg, 2004) demonstrated the use of AR for collaborative navigation and information browsing tasks in an urban environment.…”

“…Based on the findings of the previous section and a previously developed prototypes (Liarokapis, 2005, a high-level AR interface has been designed for outdoor use. The major difference with other existing AR interfaces, such as the ones described in (Feiner et al, 1997, Thomas et al, 1998, Reitmayr and Schmalstieg, 2004, Romão et al, 2004, is that our approach allows for the combination of four different types of navigational information: 3D maps, 2D maps, text and sound. In addition, two different modes of registration have been designed and experimented upon, based upon fudicial and feature recognition.…”

In this paper we propose the use of specific mobile system architecture for navigation in urban environments. The aim of this work is to evaluate how virtual and augmented reality interfaces can provide location and orientation-based services using different technologies. The virtual reality interface is entirely based on sensors to detect the location and orientation of the user while the augmented reality interface uses computer vision techniques to capture patterns from the real environment. The knowledge obtained from the evaluation of the virtual reality experience has been incorporated into the augmented reality interface. Some initial results in our experimental augmented reality navigation are presented.
