Smart World - User-Friendly Mobile Ubiquitous Augmented Reality Framework

SmARt World is a framework for an ubiquitous computing smart space consisting of smart objects, which uses augmented reality (AR) to both create content in the smart space as well as interact with the smart space. The purpose of the framework is to support various mobile collaborative applications in an indoor AR environment. This chapter presents an early prototype of SmARt World, using a wireless mesh sensor network to facilitate smart objects, and an Android AR application for content creation and interaction with the smart space. A web-hosted server is used to maintain the smart space and allow multiple access from different users, thus facilitating a collaborative smart space.
