Abstract:
There are provided an augmented reality contents providing apparatus based on a Web information structure including: an HTML document that includes a URI setting unit setting a uniform resource identifier (URI) corresponding to a point of interest (POI), a POI processing unit collecting attribute information from a target terminal and identifying the POI by using the collected attribute information, a virtual object processing unit that matches a virtual object associated with the URI to the identified POI; and a 3D browser engine used for setting coordinates on the 3D physical space such that the POI and the virtual object are displayed in a 3D virtual space through a Web browser of the target terminal, analyzing video information of the POI and the virtual object based on the set coordinates, and providing the target terminal the analyzed video information.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system for authoring and providing augmented reality contents, which includes a database storing a plurality of place models expressing an inherent physical place, a positioning unit for determining a current position of a user, a place model processing unit for searching and loading a place model corresponding to the current position of the user from the database, and a virtual object processing unit for disposing a virtual object expressed through a HTML document at a predetermined location in the loaded place model, wherein the plurality of place models is hierarchically stored so that at least one place model has at least one another place model of a subordinate concept.
