Abstract

In this paper we present and evaluate a platform for interactive collaborative face-to-face Augmented Reality using a distributed scene graph on mobile phones. The results of individual actions are viewed on the screen in real-time on every connected phone. We show how multiple collaborators can use consumer mobile camera phones to furnish a room together in an Augmented Reality environment. We have also presented a user case study to investigate how untrained users adopt this novel technology and to study the collaboration between multiple users. The platform is totally independent of a PC server though it is possible to connect a PC client to be used for high quality visualization on a big screen device such as a projector or a plasma display.
