| Abstract |
Smartphones have been identified as most promising future devices
for an Augmented Reality (AR) mass market. However, their use
puts considerable constraints on the design and composition of AR
applications. The key problem is to find a registration mechanism
for accurate six degree of freedom (6DOF) self-localization with
respect to the environment. Approaches based on Computer Vision
(CV) have been shown to be promising, but the feasibility of
many CV methods on smartphones is questionable. In this paper
we discuss current and future challenges faced in developing AR
on smartphones, in particular for large and unconstrained outdoor
environments. We focus on the registration task, giving a survey
and an assessment of existing approaches from AR and CV. From
this survey, we identify a set of important issues still seeking for
practical solutions, both in terms of the fundamental registration
problem and for making AR on smartphones a unique experience.
As will become apparent, despite recent advances, we are still far
from arriving at a universal solution to the problem. |
