Projection-based augmented reality (AR) system refers to the system that accurately project high quality virtual information at the user-specified area by using the projector. Most of projection-based AR systems use the display device to support high quality and wide screen for increasing the user-immersion. Furthermore, they are implemented on the desktop environment due to the computational complexity. However, these projection-based AR systems are not suited as a mobile system and thus it may be inconvenient in the user point of view. Fortunately, Miniaturization of projectors and improved capacity of the mobile processor allowed the mobile AR system to be convenient. The limitation of established mobile AR system is that it uses small display screen which does not support high-resolutions and thus it may reduce the user-immersion into the system. In this paper, we propose portable projection-based display system, which overcomes the limitations of both projection-based and mobile-based AR systems. We have conducted the user evaluation to verify the effectiveness and the utmost capacity of the system.

In this paper, we constructed horizontal and vertical virtual spaces using the projection table and the projection wall. We then implemented a system that stereoscopically visualizes three-dimensional (3D) buildings in the virtual environments in accordance with the user's viewing point. The projection table, a kind of horizontal display equipment, is effectively used in reproducing operations on a table or desk as well as in areas that require bird-eye views because its viewing frustum allows to view things from above. On the other hand, the large projection wall, a kind of vertical display equipment, is effectively used in navigating virtual spaces because its viewing frustum allows to take a front view. In this paper, we provided quick interaction between the user and virtual objects by representing major objects as detail 3D models and a background as images. We also augmented the reality by properly integrating models and images with user's locations and viewpoint in different virtual environments.

In this paper, we report a system specifications of Hi-resolution and four-screen stereo image projection system which was established in VBL(Venture Business Laboratory) at Tokyo Institute of Technology on 3rd July 1996. The system is 3m $\times$ 3m $\times$2.2m rectangular parallelepiped composed of three 150inch side screens and floor. Host computers can generate virtual environment s in real-time and four projecters project these images to the screens. Viewers are, therefore, surrounded by these screens and an illusion of immersion can be created. Because, the views of users are completely covered with the projection images and many kinds of interactive devices can be used in this system. Moreover, many users can have experience the virtual environments at the same time. Usually, this kind of system uses hi-performance graphics workstations for host computers. One is SGI(Silicon Graphics, Inc.) Onyx with 3 Reality Engines. The other system is 4 personal computers. Because hi-performance and low price graphics accelerators for personal computer have been developed in these years, the abilities of VR(Virtual Reality) systems based on personal computers should be investigated.

The background fort this study is related to the concept of modern time and space which has been extended from physical space to virtual space in the present times witnessing the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Based on visual tactility and illusion in virtual reality, we intended to present the possibility of the interactions as realistic as the interactions occurring in reality. Regarding the scope of this study, we analyzed the relationship between illusion in game space and immersion in interactions based on the games used frequently among current virtual reality contents. The results of the study showed that the interactions in virtual reality occurred within the space converging the time and space and that the illusion of digital images had realistic position of reality without original. Research which investigates the interaction in virtual space and media projection method for real space and virtual space will provide useful basis for promoting technological development based on novel methods differentiated from existing image grammar and for identifying the content utilization methods.

Conventional Augmented Reality has used data gloves or markers for smooth interaction between objects and background. This causes inconvenience of use and lower immersion. To build up immersion in Augmented Reality, additional input devices must be removed. For this purpose, accurate recognition of space coordinates is needed even with no attachment of markers. This paper proposes a method to create virtual space coordinates for interaction without wearing additional input devices so as to improve immersion in Augmented Reality. The acquired image was projected to 2D space and vanishing lines were extracted to calculate the virtual space coordinates. Then the sizes of the inserted objects were varied in accordance with the size of the virtual coordinates area based on the image projected onto the 2D coordinates. This resulted in improved immersion. This method can increase the efficiency of object creation by excluding the use of a 3D modeler for creation of 3D objects.

In this paper, we introduce an integrated augmented reality system using a small camera and a projector. We extract three-dimensional information of an object with a small portable camera and a projector by using a structured light system. We develop the concept of the virtual camera to generalize the projection method so that the image can be projected at a desired position with only the mesh of the object to be projected without computing the mapping between specific point sets. Therefore, it is possible to project not only simple planes but also complex curved surfaces to desired positions without complicated geometric calculation. Based on a robot with a small camera and a projector, it will largely explain the projector-camera system calibration, the calculation of the position of the recognized object, and the image projection method using the virtual camera concept.

Myanmar, also known as Burma, has a rich cultural heritage, and its historical tourist attractions well known around the world. Therefore, we designed and developed an interactive spatial augmented reality (iSAR) book on the cultural heritage of Myanmar. This iSAR book has total of 18 pages with rich media content including videos, animations, audio, and images featuring the cultural heritage of Myanmar in a digital format. In addition to virtual content, navigational features such as virtual buttons and touch-based hand gestures were implemented using Leap Motion and VVVV. Therefore, the developed iSAR book allows virtual content and navigational features to merge seamlessly into a physical book. Five participants were recruited to evaluate the prototype iSAR book, and interviews were conducted to gather their feedback based on its immersive qualities. Thus, the developed iSAR book on Myanmar effectively shares the cultural heritage of Myanmar, and ultimately allows users to explore and gain more insight into the country.

최근 PC 클러스터를 이용한 초고해상도 영상표현 시스템(예: PowerWall$^{TM}$) 혹은 몰입형 가상환경 표현시스템 (예: CAVE$^{TM}$, RealityCenters$^{TM}$) 등과 같은 멀티프로젝션 디스플레이 시스템은 산업, 군사, 과학, 의학 등에 널리 활용되고 있다. 하지만, 이와 같은 멀티프로젝션 디스플레이 시스템은 다수의 PC 클러스터와 프로젝터의 연결에 의해 구성이 되기 때문에 그 제어 방법은 각각의 PC 및 프로젝터의 프로그램과 동작을 반복적으로 실행하여야 한다. 이에 PC 클러스터 및 프로젝터의 직관적인 제어가 가능하고 일괄적으로 운용할 수 있는 환경이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 멀티프로젝션 디스플레이 시스템의 PC 클러스터 및 프로젝터의 제어와 운용에 관한 것으로, PC 클러스터에 필요한 응용프로그램 일괄실행, 일괄 power 처리와 프로젝터에 필요한 일시중지(Mute), 입력소스선택, 일괄 power on/off 수행 등에 관한 효과적인 인터페이스의 구현 및 제어 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

We introduce a new framework for making spatial augmented reality contents fast and with low cost. The framework allows us to make projection-based augmented reality using off-the-shelf webcams and projectors. Contents producers can make a projection-based augmented reality contents easy and fast by setting a webcam and a projector and then controlling user interfaces of our framework. Since most of previous solutions are expensive and it is too difficult that the producers apply augmented reality techniques themselves, the framework helps them to concentrate contents. Once we set a webcam and a projector correctly, our framework projects a virtual object contents according to the manipulation of a trackable real object. As a result we can see realistic augmented reality contents.
