A Component based Framework for Mobile Outdoor AR Applications

While early outdoor AR systems required cumbersome equipment to be carried by the user, recent development in mobile device technology means that mainstream smartphones can now be used. We present a framework for building mobile outdoor AR applications that uses component-based design, making it easy to customize and reuse. By mixing and matching the ready-to-use framework components, developers can focus on designing and developing the domain content, logic and user interface, and spend less time implementing basic functionality. We will demonstrate several applications developed with the framework to show its usefulness.
