An application for creating full-scale augmented reality content without 3d modeling skills

Abstract

The purpose of this project is the development of a software application that enables the user to create full-scale augmented reality (AR) content without the need for specialized 3D modeling skills or software. Research has shown that of the numerous previously developed AR content development environments and applications, all requires 3D modeling skills. The experimental system described in this paper allows the creation of full-scale AR content (a rectangular parallelepiped) using captured images via a Web-based application. Twenty-two out of twenty-four individuals who tested the system were able to successfully create AR content. The author concludes that the system is am important step toward the development of a user-friendly tool for the creation of full-scale AR content. This will add a new dimention of the images on the Internet: a real life impression of size and shape.
