Paper Abstract:
|
Landmark identification both in the real and virtual worlds is a common method used for registration and calibration in augmented reality. In this report, the term mental calibration is defined as calibration taking place in the mind of the user. Emphasized landmarks are suggested as a means to support the corresponding of landmarks taking place prior to this kind of calibration. A situated simulation of the Forum Iulium in ancient Rome was created. It was then tested by 11 students. They reported emphasized landmarks to be good helping tools. Not all participants understood or registered the concept, albeit they reported a good relationship between the real and virtual. Emphasized landmarks are considered beneficial, although a simulation shouldnt rely exclusively on this particular type of landmarks. |
