Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of hybrid trackingsoftware that is capable of operating both indoors and outdoors.Commercially available outdoor trackers are combinedwith an indoor tracker based on fiducial markers and videocameras. The position and orientation of the user's body ismeasured in physical world coordinates at all times, and trackingof the hands is performed relative to the head. Each of thetracking components is designed to easily scale to large indoorand outdoor environments, supporting applications such as ourexisting Tinmith-Metro modelling system. This paper focuseson the integration of the indoor tracking subsystem. By usingfeatures such as multiple video cameras and combining varioustracking data the system can produce results that meet therequirements for many mobile mixed reality applications.
