Augmented Reality

This page reports on work carried out from 2003 - 2004.

The team has combined augmented reality technology (using the ARToolKit from the Human Interfaces Technology Laboratory) with its own haptic and collaborative technologies to develop concept demonstrators. These combine the features of the collaborative haptic workbench with the concept of face-to-face discussions about a virtual object placed on a tabletop between two people. Ongoing research is looking at ways of using this capability to enhance long-distance interaction between people who are jointly solving a problem or performing a task.
