Abstract

Augmented reality, in which virtual content isseamlessly integrated with displays of real-world scenes, is a growing area ofinteractive design. With the rise of personal mobile devices capable ofproducing interesting augmented reality environments, the vast potential of ARhas begun to be explored. This paper surveys the current state-of-the-art inaugmented reality. It describes work performed in different application domainsand explains the exiting issues encountered when building augmented realityapplications considering the ergonomic and technical limitations of mobiledevices. Future directions and areas requiring further research are introducedand discussed.
