The Development of Mobile Augmented Reality

Abstract

This chapter provides a high-level overview of fifteen years of augmented reality research that was sponsored by the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR). The research was conducted at Columbia University and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) between 1991 and 2005 and supported in the later years by a number of university and industrial research laboratories. It laid the groundwork for the development of many commercial mobile augmented reality (AR) applications that are currently available for smartphones and tablets. Furthermore, it helped shape a number of ongoing research activities in mobile AR.
