Abstract
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) or Near Field Communication (NFC) technology has many advantages over other visual interfaces since it does not require line-of-sight alignment, can identify multiple tags simultaneously, and does not destroy the integrity of original objects. In addition, smart devices such as smartphone and smartpad have NFC/RFID readers which can provide mobile and natural interactions with digital and physical contents. Augmented reality has an excellent visual interaction capability with digital contents in a real environment by embedding digital contents into the physical world. In this paper, we propose a new approach to digital content interactions using RFID/NFC-based tangible interfaces in augmented reality environments that utilize invisible interfaces in addition to marker-based visual interfaces. By combining the advantages of invisible and visual interfaces, more intuitive interactions with digital contents can be provided, which can remove the difficulty of using typical AR paddles that are widely used in AR interactions. In particular, a semantic AR ontology is defined to provide more convenient interactions. Through the semantic ontology-based inferencing, physical querying and filtering are effectively supported. We will show the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed approach by demonstrating implementation results.
