Abstract

This research presents the availability of a landscape simulation method for a mobile AR (Augmented Reality), comparing it with photo montage and VR (Virtual Reality) which are the main existing methods. After a pilot experiment with 28 subjects in Kobe city, a questionnaire about three landscape simulation methods was implemented. In the results of the questionnaire, the mobile AR method was well evaluated for reproducibility of a landscape, operability, and cost. An evaluation rated as better than equivalent was obtained in comparison with the existing methods. The suitability of mobile augmented reality for landscape simulation was found to be high.
