Abstract

We describe a prototype implementation of a future mobile phone called CyPhone. In addition to voice calls, it has been designed to support context-specific and multi-user multimedia services in an augmented reality manner. Context-awareness has been implemented with GPS-based navigation techniques and a registration algorithm, capable of detecting a predefined 3-D model or a landmark in the environment. A new adaptive transport protocol has been developed to support real-time packet-switched data transfer between concurrent users of mobile augmented reality applications. The prototype itself is based on PC/104+ architecture. As a case example we describe an augmented reality-based personal navigation service.
