Project Details

"In AR² Hockey (Augmented Reality AiR Hockey), players share a physical game field, mallets, and a virtual puck to play air hockey in simultaneously shared physical and virtual space. They can also communicate with each other through the mixed space." 

 

"Since real-time, accurate registration between both spaces and players is crucial to playing the game, a video-rate registration algorithm is implemented with commercial head-trackers and video cameras attached to optical see-through head-mounted displays." 

 

"Our collaborative AR system achieves higher interactivity than a totally immersive VR system."
