Augmented Reality: Placing Artificial Objects in Real Scenes

by Reinhold Behringer (Editor), Gudrun Klinker (Editor), David Mizell (Editor)

Overview

This book presents a variety of techniques that combine computer-generated images and other objects with real scenes, creating augmented reality. This work provides an excellent snapshot of the current state of augmented reality research and its latest applications to industry. Using computer vision, graphics, and signal processing, augmented reality makes special effects in movies and computer games economically viable. This collection of survey and research papers presents a synopsis of the work covered at the First International Workshop on Augmented Reality.

Editorial Reviews

Augmented reality (AR) is a human-computer interface technology in which computer-generated information appears superimposed and stabilized upon specific coordinates of real objects. The proceedings of the November 1998 workshop contains eight full papers on applications of augmented reality and registration through computer vision, and 11 position papers on AR applications and novel user interface paradigms, and registration for AR.
