Abstract

In this paper we present the Augmented Reality Ocular, an extension of the traditional coin-operated binocular with augmented reality capabilities. The Augmented Reality Ocular enables a real implementation of the augmented reality paradigm and makes the technology available to a large public. After a review of the state of the art and a presentation of current related projects, we describe our approach of implementation. Finally different concept and purpose of applications are described in order to demonstrate the wide field of application of this new augmented reality device.
