A Software Architecture for Supporting Research Into Outdoor Augmented Reality Environments

This paper presents a new software architecture we have developed, known as Tinmithevo5, which is designed to streamline the process of writing applications for augmented reality and other types of virtual environments. Writing AR applications can be a complex and time consuming task, as there is little existing technology to support this process. This lack of technology requires the implementation of most systems from the ground up. There are many ways of designing these systems, each having its own set of trade-offs. We present Tinmithevo5 as an architecture to handle this complexity, and have found it to be highly effective for our investigations.
