The following topics are dealt with: cloud-mobile convergence paradigm; virtual reality systems; proximal resource-based architecture; augmented reality applications; virtual worlds linkage; user-generated content; Internet services; mobile augmented reality clients; invasive sensor systems and dynamic media applications.
Pervasive environments feature settings that are radically different from those traditional VR systems were designed for. To name a few of such settings, high mobility, slim device form factor, limited processing power, and constrained battery life. Developing VR systems to be used in pervasive environments is thus both attractive and challenging. Having worked on VR and pervasive computing for some...
We are developing a new enhanced cloud-based computing architecture, called the Proximal Workspace architecture to allow access and interaction between lightweight devices, e.g., video glasses, earphones, wrist displays, body sensors, etc., and applications that represent a new generation of computationand-data-intensive programs in areas such as augmented reality. While lightweight devices offer...
In this paper, we introduce real and virtual worlds linkage through Cloud-Mobile Convergence for Virtual Reality (CMCVR). First of all, we consider opportunities and requirements for dual (i.e., real and virtual) worlds linkage through CMCVR. Then, we present an implementation of an object-based linkage module prototype on a mobile phone, evaluation results of obtained 3D points normalization, and...
In this paper we describe a system for bringing usergenerated content to mobile augmented reality clients, taking in consideration the metadata required for visualizing it, at a sensor based tracking solution. Our proposal assumes that content is stored in multiple external Internet services, simply treated as a “cloud”, thus making the mobile client service agnostic. A prototype implementation was...
This paper describes a series of projects that explore a set of dynamic media applications built upon a potentially invasive sensor system - the Ubiquitous Media Portal, featuring high-resolution video and audio capture with user ID/tracking capabilities that we installed throughout our facility. In addition to sensors, the portals provide a display and loudspeaker to locally display information or...
