An AR Interface to Enable Real-time Preview Design Variations in Actual Environment
Akira Iwaya, Shinʼ ichi Takahashi, Jiro Tanaka · 2015
In this paper, we propose a way to enable users to preview a modified version of objects in the real world with a mobile device's screen using techniques of augmented reality with live video. Here, we applied the methodology to develop a prototype system and an interface that enables users to modify fonts of designs of a poster put in an actual environment and preview it to reduce the problem referred to as "impression inconsistency." From another point of view, this system uses an "interaction through video" metaphor. Tani et al. devised a technique to remotely operate machines by manipulating a live video image on a computer screen. Boring et al. applied it to distant large displays and mobile devices. Our system provides interaction with static, unintelligent targets such as posters and signs through live video.
