Abstract

Developing and deploying augmented reality (AR) services in pervasive computing environments is quite difficult because almost of all current systems require heavy and bulky head-mounted displays (HMDs) and are based on inflexible centralized architectures for detecting service locations and superimposing AR images. We propose a light-weight mobile AR service framework that combines personal mobile devices most of people own nowadays, visual tags as inexpensive AR techniques, and mobile code that enables easy-to-deploy environments. Our framework enables developers to easily deploy mobile AR services in pervasive computing environments and users to interact them in a both of practical and intuitive way.
