Recently, mobile augmented reality (AR) applications are becoming popular and allow normal users to see an enhanced real world through their mobile camera. Creating AR content however is tedious and traditionally done on desktop environments by professionals, with extensive knowledge and/or even programming skills required. In this paper, we introduce a complete mobile approach for creating vision-based AR in both indoor and outdoor environment. Using hyperlinks, Web mashups are built to dynamically augment the physical world by normal users without programing skills. This paper presents the technical challenges, design, and the implementation with some technical discussions to improve the user experience.
