| Summary: | This paper presents visually enhanced sports entertainment
applications: AR Baseball Presentation System and Interactive AR
Bowling System. We utilize vision-based augmented reality for
getting immersive feeling. First application is an observation
system of a virtual baseball game on the tabletop. 3D virtual
players are playing a game on a real baseball field model, so that
users can observe the game from favorite view points through a
handheld monitor with a web camera. Second application is a bowling
system which allows users to roll a real ball down a real bowling
lane model on the tabletop and knock down virtual pins. The users
watch the virtual pins through the monitor. The lane and the ball
are also tracked by vision-based tracking. In those applications, we
utilize multiple 2D markers distributed at arbitrary positions and
directions. Even though the geometrical relationship among the
markers is unknown, we can track the camera in very wide area. |
