Bringing user-generated content from Internet services to mobile augmented reality clients

Abstract

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 created for the Image Space service and the learnings of integrating with the popular Flickr service are discussed.
