This paper proposes a mobile augmented reality system to provide detail information of the products using QR code included in them. In the proposed system, we perform the estimation of the camera pose using both of marker-based and markerless-based methods. If the camera can see the QR code, we perform the estimation of the camera pose using the set of rectangles in the QR code. However, if the QR code is out of sight, we perform the estimation of the camera pose based homography between consecutive frames. Moreover, the content of the augmented reality in the proposed system is made by using meta-data. Therefore, the user can make contents of various scenario using only meta-data file without modification of our system. Especially, our system maintains the contents as newly updated state by the on-line server. Thus, it can reduce the unnecessary update of the program.

This study highlights the effectiveness of analyzing the feelings children have when interacting with robots in a dramatic play setting using augmented reality in Human Robot Interaction (HRI). Existing dramatic play activities using robots by QR-markers were edited, and their weaknesses have been corrected so that children could interact more effectively with robots. Additionally, children's levels of interest and engagement in dramatic play activities, the accuracy of robotic props, and the smartness of robots were analyzed throughout children's interactions during such activities using augmented reality. Younger participants were more likely to find robots interesting and intelligent, and participants with no previous experience with robots had relatively higher levels of interest in robots and tended to notice changes in robots' costumes.

본 논문은 모바일 단말기에 장착된 센서를 이용한 QR코드 기반의 인터랙티브한 모바일 증강현실 시스템을 제안한다. QR코드는 많은 양의 정보를 담을 수 있는 2차원 바코드이다. 본 논문에서 활용한 QR코드는 QR코드 메타데이터와 콘텐츠 상세 메타데이터로 구성된다. 메타 데이터를 사용함으로써 기존의 프로그램을 수정하지 않고 사용자가 쉽게 콘텐츠를 작성할 수 있다. 또한 상세 메타데이터를 이용해 마커위에 증강하고자 하는 모델의 정보를 데이터 서버로부터 획득한다. 기존의 증강현실시스템은 영상처리 기반의 카메라 자세 추정을 사용한다. 하지만 모바일 단말기에서는 낮은 사양의 컴퓨팅 파워와 많은 양의 알고리즘 계산으로인해 실시간 카메라 자세 추정이 힘들다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 모바일 단말기에 장착된 센서를 사용하여 카메라의 포즈를 계산 하여 증강현실을 구현한다.

As the mobile marketing through the smartphone has gradually increased, the smartphone application services using the AR marker, QR codes and augmented reality have attracted much attention. Furthermore the outdoor advertising is migrated to LED signage, which brings the visible light wireless communication technologies to the trial for mobile marketing. In this paper we present the implementation of AR marker-based URL access application services through smartphone camera using visible-light wireless communication technologies. We analyze the performance of the implemented system in terms of connection time and success rate.

Smart phone based navigation applications are very useful in everyday life. Cost-effective and user friendly navigation can be provided to the user by many applications available in market. Using the Smart phone these navigation applications provide accurate navigation for outdoor locations. But providing an accurate navigation underground space such as subway station is still a challenge. It is hence more convenient and appropriate for mobility services if the visitors could simply view the guidance of the subway station on their mobile phone, wherever and whenever it is needed. This study develops a algorithm for indoor navigation with the help of Augmented Reality(AR) and QR marker code from the entrance to the train platform for users. This indoor navigation uses AR and QR maker codes for two purposes: to provide the user link to the subway station location and to provide the current guidance details to the user. This Smart phone algorithm that uses a smart phone optical tool to decode the QR marker to determine the location information and provide guidance to the AR without indoor Maps. This algorithm also provides a module to guide mobility vulnerable to the Barrier Free route to destination.

A simple and accurate whole body rehabilitation interaction technology using immersive digital content is needed for elderly patients with steadily increasing age-related diseases. In this study, we introduce whole-body interaction technology using HoloLens and Kinect for this purpose. To achieve this, we propose three coordinate transformation methods: mesh feature point-based transformation, AR marker-based transformation, and body recognition-based transformation. The mesh feature point-based transformation aligns the coordinate system by designating three feature points on the spatial mesh and using a transform matrix. This method requires manual work and has lower usability, but has relatively high accuracy of 8.5mm. The AR marker-based method uses AR and QR markers recognized by HoloLens and Kinect simultaneously to achieve a compliant accuracy of 11.2mm. The body recognition-based transformation aligns the coordinate system by using the position of the head or HMD recognized by both devices and the position of both hands or controllers. This method has lower accuracy, but does not require additional tools or manual work, making it more user-friendly. Additionally, we reduced the error by more than 10% using RANSAC as a post-processing technique. These three methods can be selectively applied depending on the usability and accuracy required for the content. In this study, we validated this technology by applying it to the "Thunder Punch" and rehabilitation therapy content.

AR service using the client-server method and existing physical markers(eg, OR Codes, etc.) causes a delay in the playback time of the contents because the contents download is executed after the marker recognition. In the case of the one-time installation method rather than the client-server method, proactive download of high-capacity contents for playback may cause an inefficiency of the storage space of the device(eg, smartphone, etc.). Therefore, in AR contents playback based on beacon's RSSI to secure the efficiency of the playback device storage space and to quickly play AR contents. The technique for high-speed playback in this study can be applied to various fields such as MICE exhibition using beacon signal.
