Augmented reality navigation systems

Abstract

The augmented reality (AR) research community has been developing a manifold of ideas and concepts to improve the depiction of virtual objects in a real scene. In contrast, current AR applications require the use of unwieldy equipment which discourages their use. In order to essentially ease the perception of digital information and to naturally interact with the pervasive computing landscape, the required AR equipment has to be seamlessly integrated into the user's natural environment. Considering this basic principle, this paper proposes the car as an AR apparatus and presents an innovative visualization paradigm for navigation systems that is anticipated to enhance user interaction.

Impact of an augmented reality system on students' motivation for a visual art course

“…As result, the users point of view changes and they require knowing where they are, where everything is and how to get particular objects or places, that is the navigation process. Although navigation is not the main objective of a user in a virtual or augmented environment, it has direct implications on the way users interact with the pervasive computing landscape (Burigat & Chittaro, 2007;Kye & Kim, 2008;Narzt et al, 2005) and also contributes to the feeling of immersion (Huang et al, 2010). …”

A mobile indoor navigation system interface adapted to vision-based localization

“…the integration of virtual objects in a real-world scene [3], has been used in manifold ways for navigation user interfaces. The strength of AR is its intuitiveness, since no translation between the virtual representation and the real world is required [27]. A survey of AR systems and applications is given e.g.…”

Extraction and Reconstruction of Zebra Crossings from High Resolution Aerial Images

“…Zebra crossings, a type of pedestrian crossing, are used in many places around the world, which is crucial information that is often ignored in geographic data collection [3]. Recently, with the increasing demands of detailed road information stimulated by local accessibility analysis, pedestrian simulation and prediction, and navigation of driverless cars, the extraction of zebra crossings particularly for reconstruction purposes, is becoming an important research topic [4][5][6][7]. High-resolution aerial images are one of the most significant and popular data sources for geographic data retrieval [8][9][10][11][12], and provides further possibilities for zebra crossings extraction and reconstruction.…”
