Abstract

When we preview the current developments of Augmented Reality (AR) and holography, we realize that these tools have been applied separately. We combine these two technologies in order to create a powerful system for science, industry and education. This paper focuses on the feasible combination of reflection holograms and tangible AR starting with analysis of between both technologies. We investigated human/computer interaction with the tangible user interfaces (TUI) to ensure its usability. Experiments were conducted to verify the combination process. Later, experiments were conducted to manipulate the TUI where an artistic image made by reflection holograms and tangible AR was displayed. According to the experimental results, we named this combined application as the Augmented-Holograms Display Platform (AHDP).
