Abstract

Mobile-based augmented reality is an emerging technology that provides immersive experiences over wireless networks. Its applications, such as 3D streaming, have become more and more popular on mobile devices. However, most of these applications do not support real-time 3D interactions. Consequently, mobile users can only watch or browse 3D contents passively instead of actively interacting with 3D objects. In this paper, we propose a novel method that allows mobile users to change a model's shape and motions through interactions via mobile touch screen and obtain feedbacks in real-time. To accelerate computational speed and reduce communication load, we compute 3D deformations using a spectral representation. Moreover, a progressive deformation streaming technique is proposed to reduce the effect of interaction delay between the server and mobile clients. Our experimental results indicate that our method provides real-time interaction feedback, offering satisfactory user experiences.
