Abstract

In this paper, we present issues to be addressed and practical solutions for these issues in an Augmented Reality (AR) cyber-infrastructure framework currently being developed. This framework provides services to AR application developers and users for creating, sharing, publishing, and consuming AR content. It also helps in managing different content datasets, including user-generated AR content, internal and external content repositories. The practical development challenges can be categorized into three groups: computation challenges, sensor capability challenges, and challenges associated with development and deployment of the platform. Specifically, these challenges include finding the optimal update frequency for tracking a user's motion, working with delays in the GPS, thread synchronization, adverse interactions with the hosting device, as well as debugging and testing of a pose computation in AR application. Limitations and practical solutions for both an AR mobile device and AR frameworks are discussed, along with an analysis of characteristics of AR frameworks.
