Project Details

"Four attendees, wearing see-through head-worn displays tracked by a wide-area, six-degrees-of-freedom tracker, interact with a shared virtual information space that documents Emerging Technologies. Two attendees are fully mobile. They can roam Emerging Technologies and switch automatically between the six-degrees-of-freedom tracker and a coarse IR position-tracking infrastructure." 
 
"The [Mobile Augmented Reality Systems] MARS user interfaces embody three techniques that we are exploring to develop effective augmented-reality user interfaces: information filtering (prioritization by context), user interface component design (information presentation considerations), and view management (management of virtual object displays for useful coherence)."
