Ubiquitous Augmented Reality System

In the research prototypes of augmented reality (AR), the virtual rendering information always only relates to the external image features of real world. Due to this static and single-channel relation, AR technology could not dynamically show "virtual" augmented information according to the corresponding internal invisible state information of real objects. This paper presents a ubiquitous augmented reality (UAR) prototype system designed for combining ubiquitous computing and augmented reality technologies. By using wireless sensor networks to gather needed monitoring data throughout the real object or physical environment, this system supports hybrid tracking in mobile status and provides an AR interactive interface to represent multi-type augmented information adapting to the sensor data from real world.
