In this article, we propose a system for augmented card playing with a projector and a camera to add playfulness and increase communication among players of a traditional card game. The functionalities were derived on the basis of a user survey session with actual players. Playing cards are recognized using a video camera on the basis of a template matching without any artificial marker with an accuracy of > 0.96. Players are also tracked to provide person-dependent services using a video camera from the direction of their hands appearing over a table. These functions are provided as an API; therefore, the user of our system, i.e., a developer, can easily augment playing card games. The Pelmanism game was augmented on top of the system to validate the concept of augmentation. The results showed the feasibility of the system's performance in an actual environment and the potential of enhancing playfulness and communication among players.

We present ARmy, a two-player military strategy game that uses spatially augmented reality to combine physical tabletop games with the virtual elements and computation characteristic of modern video games. As players move plastic miniatures within a small scale physical environment, the application moderates and augments play by maintaining a 3D representation of the scene, which it uses to validate movement paths and perform automatic line-ofsight calculations for combat. We describe the design and implementation of the ARmy gaming system. Furthermore, we conducted a user study to gauge the effectiveness, intuitiveness, and robustness of the application. We describe the process of this user study, present quantitative data of the study results, and discuss general design principles for the design and implementation of other engaging spatiallyaugmented games.

This paper presents a new technique to simultaneously model in both the physical and virtual worlds. The intended application domain for this technique is industrial design. A designer physically sculpts a 3D model from foam using a hand-held hot wire foam cutter. Both the foam and cutting tool are tracked, allowing the system to digitally replicate the sculpting process to produce a matching 3D virtual model. Spatial Augmented Reality is used to project visualizations onto the foam. Inspired by the needs of industrial designers, we have developed two visualizations for sculpting specific models: Target, which shows where foam needs to be removed to produce a model, and Cut Animation, which projects the paths for cuts to be made to reproduce a previous artifact. A third visualization of the wireframe of the generated model is projected onto the foam and used for verification. The final visualization employs 3D procedural textures such as a wood grain texture, providing a simulation of volumetric rendering. Volumetric rendering techniques such as this provide a more natural look that is projected onto the foam. Once the object has been modeled physically and virtually, the designer is able to annotate and paint the finished model. The system has been evaluated through a user study conducted with students from the School of Industrial Design at the University of South Australia.
