Interactive Tools for Virtual X-Ray Vision in Mobile Augmented Reality

Category: Data Management, Networking and Communications

Overview This paper presents a set of interactive tools designed to give users Virtual X-Ray vision. These tools address a common problem in depicting occluded infrastructure: either too much information is displayed, confusing users, or too little information is displayed, depriving users of important depth cues. Four tools are presented: The Tunnel Tool and Room Selector Tool directly augment the user's view of the environment, allowing them to explore the scene in direct, first person view. The Room in Miniature Tool allows the user to select and interact with a room from a third person perspective, allowing users to view the contents of the room from points of view that would normally be difficult or impossible to achieve.
