    摘要: An improved augmented reality (AR) system integrates a human interface and computing system into a single, hand-held device. A touch-screen display and a rear-mounted camera allows a user interact the AR content in a more intuitive way. A database storing graphical images or textual information about objects to be augmented. A processor is operative to analyze the imagery from the camera to locate one or more fiducials associated with a real object, determine the pose of the camera based upon the position or orientation of the fiducials, search the database to find Graphical images or textual information associated with the real object, and display graphical images or textual information in overlying registration with the imagery from the camera.

    摘要: Systems and methods expedite and improve the process of configuring an augmented reality environment. A method of pose determination according to the invention includes the step of placing at least one synthetic fiducial in a real environment to be augmented. A camera, which may include apparatus for obtaining directly measured camera location and orientation (DLMO) information, is used to acquire an image of the environment. The natural and synthetic fiducials are detected, and the pose of the camera is determined using a combination of the natural fiducials, the synthetic fiducial if visible in the image, and the DLMO information if determined to be reliable or necessary. The invention is not limited to architectural environments, and may be used with instrumented persons, animals, vehicles, and any other augmented or mixed reality applications.

    摘要: A method for controlling a graphical user interface (GUI) for a touchscreen-enabled computer systems provides a variety of software methods (tools) provide for high-fidelity control of the user interface. The TrackScreen tool provides finger-friendly mouse functions such as scrolling, dragging and clicking. The Magnifier application continuously captures the current screen image, and displays a magnified subset of it. Selecting within this magnified area with a pointing device (mouse, touchscreen, digitizer, etc) causes the application to simulate the action on the portion of the screen corresponding to the point in the magnified image that was selected. A KeyBoard application, a keyboard is rendered on screen, with sufficient size that the individual keys are easily selectable with an unaided finger. The Common Tasks Tool or CTT) allows common keyboard shortcuts, mouse events, and other user interface events to be specified in a configuration file and represented on screen as a large, easy-to-click button. The Touchscreen Task Switcher is invoked using any interface (software or hardware) element, and visually takes up the entire screen. The Touchscreen Snapshot utility ties in with an external camera with a physical button on it. The Window Template Manager (WTM), is used to specify, and then instantiate, the position and sizes of multiple windows for use with a touchscreen display. The Touch Portal is a full-screen application with a set of customizable buttons representing applications and other tools.
