Definition

Augmented reality is a technology that combines virtual and real worlds in real time to help users complete their work or to provide users new experiences.

Introduction

Augmented reality technologies have been widely applied to military, industry, medical, and entertainment areas. The rapid spread of smart mobile devices such as smart phones and smart pads has made it possible to experience AR on smart mobile devices. Various AR applications including games have been developed on mobile devices using sensors such as a camera, a GPS, and an inertial sensor, yet most of them only provide simple interaction for the users. Better 3D interaction techniques are needed to extend the usability of mobile AR applications.

In this article, we will introduce a 3D interaction technique suitable for mobile AR applications developed at the mixed reality and interaction (MRI) laboratory recently. The 3D interaction technique had been...
