Developing AR Systems in the Prescence of Spatial Uncertainty

Abstract

This chapter introduces spatially-adaptive augmented reality as an approach to dealing with the registration errors introduced by spatial uncertainty. It argues that if programmers are given simple estimates of registration error, they can create systems that adapt to dynamically changing amounts of spatial uncertainty, and that it is this ability to adapt to spatial uncertainty that will be the key to creating augmented reality systems that work in real-world environments.
