“…The Mobile AR4ALL system and the BatPortal system both use thin clients with mobile devices for AR, but they continue to have limited rendering on the mobile devices, as well as less frequent updates [11], [12]. The AR-PDA Project combines a mobile device with a server that a does image recognition and returns a processed video stream [13].…”

Abstract-We are developing a new enhanced cloud-based computing architecture, called the Proximal Workspace architecture to allow access and interaction between lightweight devices, e.g., video glasses, earphones, wrist displays, body sensors, etc., and applications that represent a new generation of computationand-data-intensive programs in areas such as augmented reality. While lightweight devices offer an easy way for these applications to collect user data and offer feedback, the applications cannot be run natively and completely on these devices because of high resource demands. Making these applications available via a cloud, while promoting ubiquitous access and providing the necessary resources to execute the applications, induces large delays due to network latency.To solve these problems, we are developing a new system architecture based on supporting workspaces which provide nearby computing power to the users devices and thus mediate between them and the clouds computing resources. Specifically, a workspace provides a set of middleware utilities designed to exploit local resources, and provide specific functions such as rendering of graphics, pre-fetching of data, and combining data from different servers. More generally, the workspace is designed to run any subset of activities that cannot be run on a user's device due to computation speed or storage size, and cannot be run on a cloud server due to network latency. Ultimately, the goal is to produce a set of middleware utilities that when run in the workspace with highly-interactive, computation/data intensive applications will result in better user-perceived performance.We are exploring this system architecture constructively, by adapting applications that benefit from this architecture and discovering how best to suit their needs. We have already adapted VNC (Virtual Network Computing, which allows local interaction with remote computations) to run under a similar architecture, and as a result increased video performance in high network latency conditions by an order of magnitude. We are currently working on adapting Google Earth to run under this system architecture, with the goal of the user being able to intuitively navigate through renderings of Ancient Rome in video glasses, without being hampered by any bulky equipment.

Although Augmented Reality technology was first developed over forty years ago, there has been little survey work giving an overview of recent research in the field. This paper reviews the tenyear development of the work presented at the ISMAR conference and its predecessors with a particular focus on tracking, interaction and display research. It provides a roadmap for future augmented reality research which will be of great value to this relatively young field, and also for helping researchers decide which topics should be explored when they are beginning their own studies in the area.

In this paper we describe a mobile phone based Augmented Reality application for 3D scene assembly. Augmented Reality on mobile phones extends the interaction capabilities on such handheld devices. It adds a 6 DOF isomorphic interaction technique for manipulating 3D content. We give details of an application that we believe to be the first where 3D content can be manipulated using both the movement of a camera tracked mobile phone and a traditional button interface as input for transformations. By centering the scene in a tangible marker space in front of the phone we provide a mean for bimanual interaction. We describe the implementation, the interaction techniques we have developed and initial user response to trying the application.
