Comments on: A nice summary of the state of AR … http://www.augmentedenvironments.org/blair/2010/01/05/jarrells-state-of-the-art/ Thoughts on AR, technology and anything else I feel compelled to talk about Tue, 26 Jan 2010 03:41:26 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: blair http://www.augmentedenvironments.org/blair/2010/01/05/jarrells-state-of-the-art/comment-page-1/#comment-383 blair Mon, 11 Jan 2010 03:57:06 +0000 http://www.augmentedenvironments.org/blair/?p=136#comment-383 Hi Feng. I don't personally do the crowdsourcing image work for tracking; it's just one of those ideas that the folks who do this kind of work agree is good. One of my students is collaborating with folks at Nokia research on a similar idea, for example. I think the Bokode's are a very cool piece of technology; using them might help, although it's unclear what they would really give you in terms of tracking, at least outdoors (GPS gives you crude location to start with). Indoors they might help, of course, but so could other passive approaches. Hi Feng.

What about your research of using crowdsourced images to solve the problem of positioning instead of with "GPS+Compass"? Maybe there is another way to this problem or as an auxiliary measure, I think, which is more traditional, but may be laborious. That is, placing markers into the real world, places of interest/importance for positioning. We may use Bokode developed at MIT Media Lab, which is very small as "Imperceptible Visual Tags for Camera Based Interaction from a Distance". How do you think about it?
