Augmented reality is a novel human-machine interaction that overlays virtual computer-generated information on a real world environment. It has found good potential applications in many fields, such as training, surgery, entertainment, maintenance, assembly, product design and other manufacturing operations. In this study, a smartphone-based augmented reality system was developed for the purpose of monitoring and managing injection molding production lines. Required management items were drawn from a management content analysis, and then the items were divided into two broad management categories: line management and equipment management. Effective work management was enabled by providing those working on the shop floor with management content information combined with the actual images of an injection molding production line through augmented reality.

The popularity of Smartphones makes new fields of applications based on location based service easily feasible with a new user interface called augmented reality (AR). It presents a particularly powerful user interface to context-aware computing environments. AR on Smartphones integrates virtual information into a person's physical environment by overlaying information on an image taken through Smartphone's camera and motion sensors. Mobile augmented reality systems provide this service without constraining the individual's whereabouts to a specially equipped area. This work presents an overview of handheld augmented reality focusing on applications with introducing the basic issues of them. For this purpose, an example system, Studierstube ES (embedded system), is cited, which introduces the most significant problems and various methods of solving them through the experience of converting existing PC-based AR system into handheld AR.

This paper presented an augmented reality based mobile application of maintenance and management for concrete bridges. For the development of augmented reality system, it was necessary to establish the concrete bridges detail information and history of maintenance that build the database of those. Also, the augmented reality based system required that concrete bridge information presented by the mobile smart phone. Therefore, this study developed an augmented reality based concrete bridge information mobile application-All about Bridge based on android smart phone and smart pad. The proposed All about Bridge application supports a various bridge informations simultaneously using smart phone and augmented reality technology.

As augmented reality technology has developed, various augmented reality contents can be seen in real life, and the performance of mobile device is improved, so augmented reality technology can be used even without special device. As a result, a training system, guidance system and a museum art guide system based on augmented reality technology are emerging, and interest in augmented reality is also increasing. However, the existing guidance systems using a single mobile device have limitations in terms of the user experience (UX) because the camera of the device limits the field of view or the two hands are not free and the user input is difficult. In this paper, we compare augmented reality based guidance systems for Rubik's Cube using tablet and HMD to improve the constraint of user experience of such a single mobile device, and find elements that positively improve user experience. After that, we evaluate whether the user experience is actually improved through the user experience comparison test and the questionnaire.

Recent development in game technologies has offered various game environments, but the existing games have not provided realistically felt game environments because the element of the game is virtually generated in most of the games. Therefore, we propose a mixed game environment based on spatial augmented reality by using a creature that really exists. In the proposed game environment, tracking based on camera images created in real-time enables the provision of information about the real creature that is both still and moving. The game environment is presented with virtual object by using the coordinate of a real creature. Then, spatial augmented reality technology is applied for mixing a real creature and virtual game elements. Thus, the game scene is displayed by the spatial augmented reality technique based on the real-time coordinate of real creatures. Moreover, by providing the realistic game environment based on the spatial augmented reality, our system can be applied to various game contents that are actually felt as real. Most importantly, our system arouses the players' interest in a new kind of game environment.

In this paper, we propose CAMAR Core Platform as a framework for context-aware mobile augmented reality system development after brief introduction of limitations in the previous mobile augmented reality (AR). There have been many research activities on mobile AR due to recent enhancement of functionalities of mobile devices and development of relevant technologies to mobile augmented reality. In order to be used in ubiquitous computing environment, however, mobile AR systems should be able to utilize available contextual information, augment personalized contents, and share the augmented contents with other users. Thus, the proposed CAMAR Core Platform can provide such functionalities to those who want to develop CAMAR systems. To show the feasibility of the proposed framework, we show several applications based on the framework.

Digital media technology is gradually developing with the development of convergence quaternary industrial technology and mobile devices. The combination of deep learning and augmented reality can provide more convenient and lively services through the interaction of 3D virtual images with the real world. We combine deep learning-based pose prediction with augmented reality technology. We predict the eight vertices of the bounding box of the object in the image. Using the predicted eight vertices(x,y), eight vertices(x,y,z) of 3D mesh, and the intrinsic parameter of the smartphone camera, we compute the external parameters of the camera through the PnP algorithm. We calculate the distance to the object and the degree of rotation of the object using the external parameter and apply to AR content. Our method provides services in a web environment, making it highly accessible to users and easy to maintain the system. As we provide augmented reality services using consumers' smartphone cameras, we can apply them to various business fields.

Ubiquitous computing is a vision of our future computing lifestyle in which computer systems seamlessly integrate into our everyday lives, providing services and information in anywhere and anytime fashion. Augmented reality (AR) can naturally complement ubiquitous computing by providing an intuitive and collaborative visualization and simulation interface to a three-dimensional information space embedded within physical reality. This paper presents a service framework and its applications for providing context-aware u-car maintenance services using augmented reality, which can support a rich set of ubiquitous services and collaboration. It realizes bi-augmentation between physical and virtual spaces using augmented reality. It also offers a context processing module to acquire, interpret and disseminate context information. In particular, the context processing module considers user's preferences and security profile for providing private and customer-oriented services. The prototype system has been implemented to support 3D animation, TTS (Text-to-Speech), augmented manual, annotation, and pre- and post-augmentation services in ubiquitous car service environments.

As the applications and services based on the augmented reality are widely spread in various industry and public domain information dissemination areas, it is naturally necessary to provide the common information framework which can describe required detailed information for services. JPSearch which is released for unified access to image repositories can be utilized in this kind of infrastructure due to that the framework for augmented reality needs a constituent component which supports image repositories. In this paper, we propose a metadata schema which is designed for information architectural framework in the environment of augmented reality based on workflow. The proposed information schema can support the workflow of augmented reality related production system and service implementation.
