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 …

BragFish paper got accepted by ACE08
Congratulations~ I will attach the full paper and video later. Abstract: In this paper, we present our research on social interaction in colocated handheld augmented reality (AR) games. These games are characterized by shared physical spaces which promote physical awareness between players and individual gaming devices which support both public and private information. One result …

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 …

Butterfly effect: an augmented reality puzzle game
Abstract Butterfly effect is a 3D puzzle game using augmented reality. The key motivation was to create a game that leverages the structure of the physical world during gameplay without requiring the computer to have a detailed model of the space. The butterflies are virtual, but the space the player navigates is physical. The player …

DART: A Toolkit for Rapid Design Exploration of Augmented Reality Experiences
Abstract In this paper, we describe The Designer’s Augmented Reality Toolkit (DART). DART is built on top of Macromedia Director, a widely used multimedia development environment. We summarize the most significant problems faced by designers working with AR in the real world, and discuss how DART addresses them. Most of DART is implemented in an …
