Abstract
Prof. Welch’s research team is exploring the use of Spatial Augmented Reality. Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) augments physical world objects and scenes without the use of special displays such as monitors, head mounted displays or hand-held devices. SAR makes use of digital projectors to display graphical information onto physical objects, e.g., small objects that could alternatively look like food or bomb material, or human-shaped physical objects that facilitate physical-virtual human surrogates. The key difference in SAR is that the display is separated from the users of the system. Because the displays are not associated with each user, SAR does not encumber the users and scales naturally up to groups of users, thus allowing for collocated collaboration between users. This form of technology is ideally suited to large scale training applications.
