Vision-Based Interaction – A First Glance at Playing MR Games in the Real-World Around Us

Mixed-reality games have the potential to let users play in the world surrounding them. However, to exploit this new approaches to game content creation, content presentation techniques and interaction techniques are required. In this paper we explore the potential of computer-vision on mobile devices with a camera as an interaction modality. Based on a theoretical review of the available design space potential interaction techniques are discussed. Some of these were implemented in an experimental game to enable practical evaluation. We provide an overview of the game and present intial experiences with the vision-based interaction techniques employed.
