A Sneak Peek at ARf, an AR Virtual Pet game for the iPhone
We’ve been working on an AR virtual pet game on the iPhone; it won’t be ready to release for a while, both because it’s not done, but also because Apple doesn’t have an official API for camera access (preventing us from putting this on the store). Right now, this is mostly an experiment with different …

Watercolor Inspired Non-Photorealistic Rendering for AR
Abstract Non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) is an attractive approach for seamlessly blending virtual and physical content in Augmented Reality (AR) applications. Simple NRP techniques, that use information from a single rendered image, have been demonstrated in real-time AR systems. More complex NRP techniques require visual coherence across multiple frames of video, and typical offline algorithms are …

Uncertainty Boundary for Complex Objects in AR
Abstract Registration errors between the physical world and computer-generated objects are a central problem in Augmented Reality (AR) systems. Some existing AR systems have demonstrated how to dynamically estimate registration errors based on estimates of spatial errors in the system. Using these error estimates, these systems also demonstrated a number of ways of ameliorating the …
