Abstract

Development of Augmented Reality (AR) applications can be time consuming due to the effort required in accessing sensors for location and orientation tracking data. In this pa- per, we introduce the TREC framework, designed to handle sensor input and make AR development easier. It does this in three ways. First, TREC generates a high-level abstraction of user location and orientation, so that low-level sensor data need not be seen directly. TREC also automatically uses the best available sensors and fusion algorithms so that complex configuration is unnecessary. Finally, TREC enables exten- sions of the framework to add support for new devices or customized sensor fusion algorithms.
