Abstract
Researchers in mobile AR systems have so far put the value on the technical challenges involved in the limitations imposed from mobility. Beyond such immediate technical questions, however, are questions regarding the possible contents that are to be used for the user’s interaction in ubiquitous computing environment. Various aspects of context of user and environment can be utilized easily as well as effectively. Moreover, the environment will be equipped with lots of pervasive but invisible computing resources. However, it is difficult for users to have access to those computing resources. At the same time, as the smart appliances get to have more features, their user interfaces tend to become harder to use. Thus, in this paper, we propose Context-Aware Mobile Augmented Reality (CAMAR) system. In our system, users only need to take a picture of smart appliances with a built-in camera in a mobile device when they intend to control the appliances. It lets users interact with the smart appliances through personalized control interfaces on their mobile devices. Also, it supports enabling contents to be not only personalized but also shared selectively and interactively among user communities.
