Zusammenfassung
With Augmented Reality (AR) reaching its technological maturity,
there is a constantly increasing request for AR applications that address
a broadened user base. Current AR applications still tend to
be spatially and temporally confined either by applying to a single
use case or by their tracking requirements. At the same time,
with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), more and more everyday
objects are fitted with wireless connection interfaces. In this
work, we present the concept of Augmented Things, in which objects
carry all the necessary tracking and augmentation information
required for AR applications. This allows a user to connect to them,
load this information on his personal device and have augmentations
such as maintenance instructions or product origin and usage
displayed. For this, we also present and evaluate a universally robust
3D object tracking framework based on high quality 3D scans
of the objects.
