TREC: platform-neutral input for mobile augmented reality applications

Published: 13 June 2011 Publication History

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.
