This paper presents a system based on Augmented Reality (AR) technologies that enables creation of a new class of technical drawings called Augmented Reality Technical Drawings (ARTD). With this system the users wearing a see-trough Head Mounted Display can visualize 3D CAD models co-located with 2D representations. The users have the possibility to translate, rotate and scale the overlaid 3D C...

Continues on page 12 This review is intended to provide the scientifi c community, in general, and the buying public, in particular, with information about the technical and fi nancial aspects of antigen retrieval (AR) — a procedure that has become an integral part of most immunohistochemical (IHC) staining protocols. Loosely defi ned, AR is a specimen pretreatment procedure that modifi es the ...

This paper describes a concept of an innovative medical application with augmented-reality support. This work is based on a cooperation between the Div. Medical and Biological Informatics at Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ), and the Department of Photogrammetry and Cartography of the Technical University Berlin. Augmented Reality (AR) is a growing area in virtual reality research. An aug...

Recently, the Joint Technical Committee (JTC) has proposed a time domain model for simulation of the statistical wideband characteristics of the indoor and outdoor radio propagations for personal communication applications. The Letter presents a method to find an equivalent AR model for the channels characterised by the JTC. Since the AR model requires fewer parameters to represent the channel,...

Augmented Reality (AR) applications are becoming mature technologies for the use in manufacturing systems. Their very innovative character together with the variety of devices are now forcing production managers and researchers to analyse their application from technological to organizational point of view. The aim of the paper is to propose a multi-criteria model which integrates technical and...

This paper discusses the use of Augmented Reality (AR) applications for the needs of tourism. It describes the technology’s evolution from pilot applications into commercial mobile applications. We address the technical aspects of mobile AR application development, emphasizing the technologies that render the delivery of augmented reality content possible an...

As a consequence of technical difficulties such as unreliable tracking, many AR applications get stuck in the "how to implement" phase rather than progressing to the "what to show" phase driven by information visualization needs rather than basic technology. In contrast, most of today's computer games are set in a fairly realistic 3D environment, and unlike many AR applications, game interfaces...

In this paper, we examine the state of the art in augmented reality (AR) for mobile learning. Previous work in the field of mobile learning has included AR as a component of a wider toolkit but little has been done to discuss the phenomenon in detail or to examine in a balanced fashion its potential for learning, identifying both positive and negative aspects. We seek to provide a working defin...
