Abstract

With the recent advent of mobile Augmented Reality (AR) applications, spatially appropriate content is overlayed over the real scene for a quick and intuitive information provision. In this paper, we introduce a concept of in-situ AR mashup content (AMC) as a new type of end-user created content for AR applications and as a concentrated digital trace that reveals Social and Community Intelligence (SCI). Especially, we present an AMC-based application for an art gallery that focuses on a specific representation format for AMC and the underlying architecture that enables such user participation. The proposed in-situ AR mashup elevates, otherwise passive users to active contributors of the content ecosystem by adding informational and experiential content. As a result of such content mashup activities, currently limited and frozen AR content ecosystem can be enriched and revamped. At the same time, the user-generated AMC implicitly leaves rich and multi-dimensionally structured digital traces that can be collectively used to build SCI.
