Augmented reality finds its way into everyday applications providing appealing alternatives to current interaction paradigms as well as efficient and comprehensive information visualization. The work presented in this brief survey was carried out in the earlier days of augmented reality research in three different application areas that show promising application potential for augmented reality and are still not completely addressed and solved. The survey addresses not only different application areas but through them different technological challenges. The application domains addressed are the valorization of cultural heritage through augmented reality, transformation of the simple TV viewing experience into interactive sports television, and visual support of interior design. In each of these application areas, specific technological problems of augmented reality are addressed and the initial approaches to their solution are presented, as well as a projection to current developments and potential adaptations. |
