Abstract

In this paper we present an approach for exposing tracking technology in an accessible and flexible way to users of a rapid prototyping system for mixed (MR) and augmented reality (AR). Our system provides a tracking framework that alleviates the need for a high level of expertise while also presenting a model of the technology that allows for flexible modification of tracking configurations, the ability to quickly change an application from one type of tracking technology to another, and the creation of synthetic trackers for playback of prerecorded data, data fusion from multiple trackers, and wizard-of-oz applications.
