[Journal] Prototyping an Outdoor Mobile Augmented Reality Street View Application ~ DroidUMM

ABSTRACT

We describe the early development of an experimental outdoor mobile augmented reality (AR) application, AR street view,‖ running on a Google Android Dev Phone 1. This project addresses the design of interaction and visualization techniques for AR user interfaces on mobile phones. Our experience suggests that usabili-ty is compromised by a variety of issues, including tracking and registration errors caused by the relatively inaccurate GPS and orientation sensor, the need to hold the phone away from the body in potentially awkward poses, and the relatively small field of view covered by the display and camera.
