New technology has been seen as a way for many businesses in the tourism industry to stay competitive and enhance their marketing campaign in various ways. AR has evolved as the buzzword of modern information technology and is gaining increasing attention in the media as well as through a variety of use cases. This trend is highly fostered across mobile applications as well as the hype of weara...

The goal of this thesis is to design, implement and evaluate novel techniques for enhancing handheld navigation systems with Augmented Reality (AR). AR is an increasingly popular technology for handheld navigation systems but is rarely studied from a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective. We rather argue that advantages and limitations of AR must be clearly identified and taken into acco...

So far, Augmented Reality (AR) systems have been confined to research prototypes and niche applications. However, recent advances in AR research make it seem feasible that AR can go beyond this stage. We envision that it can find broad adoption on consumer devices; therefore, ubiquitously enriching peoples’ life. It is very likely that mobile phones are going to be the first delivery platform o...

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 for mobile learning but, to date, little has been done that discusses the phenomenon in detail or that examines its potential for learning, in a balanced fashion that identifies both positive and negative as...

In this paper, researcher presents ARkanoid, a 3D Handheld Augmented Reality game. Through this project, researcher tried to remake the old 2D game and brought it into something new. This time, researcher chooses an Arkanoid game which was first introduced in 1986 and became very famous together with the raise of video game era on that moment. Not only makes it in the 3D version, but also resea...

This demonstration will highlight the Designer’s Augmented Reality Toolkit (DART), a system that allows users to easily create augmented reality (AR) experiences. Over the past year our research has been focused on the creation of this toolkit that can be used by technologists, designers, and students alike to rapidly prototype AR applications. Current approaches to AR development involve exten...

In this position statement, we describe our approach to prototyping AR applications embodied in the Designer’s Augmented Reality Toolkit (DART), a system we are creating to allow non-technologists to easily create augmented reality (AR) experiences. Over the past year our research has been focused on the creation of this toolkit that can be used by technologists, designers, and students alike t...

We implemented a mobile AR system for building maintenance workers based on participatory design of the system requirements. The technical implementation relies on hybrid tracking, combining computer vision tools, sensors and indoors locationing. The application was tested in a pilot case by end-users in field tests, where the users were able to evaluate the system that had been developed based...

In this chapter we propose a joint exploration of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Augmented Reality (AR). Thanks to some factors, we will detail hereafter, these two domains have greatly converged in recent years further to certain factors which we shall detail hereafter. We then outline applications combining GIS and a display technique using AR in order to identify the scientific issu...
