ABSTRACT
Augmented reality (AR) has progressed to the point where geometry-aware real-time applications involving multiple users are now possible. We present an approach for a collaborative augmented reality environment using an RGB-D camera and KinectFusion, collecting visual and depth data from a static environment that is used as a fiducial for multiple users. This allows for collaborative augmented reality environments where digital data and real world objects can appear to interact. We anticipate that the combination of technologies that we used in our prototype will soon be available in mobile devices and will support our approach to collaborative augmented reality.

Collaborative Augmented Reality: Multi-user Interaction in Urban Simulation
IVIC '09: Proceedings of the 1st International Visual Informatics Conference on Visual Informatics: Bridging Research and PracticeAugmented reality (AR) environment allows user or multi-user to interact with 2D and 3D data. AR simply can provide a collaborative interactive AR environment for urban simulation, where users can interact naturally and intuitively. AR collaboration ...
Collaboration in Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that allows users to view and interact in real time with virtual images seamlessly superimposed over the real world. AR systems can be used to create unique collaborative experiences. For example, co-located users ...
Exploring User Behaviour in Asymmetric Collaborative Mixed Reality
VRST '22: Proceedings of the 28th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyA common issue for collaborative mixed reality is the asymmetry of interaction with the shared virtual environment. For example, an augmented reality (AR) user might use one type of head-mounted display (HMD) in a physical environment, while a virtual ...
