K-MART: Authoring tool for mixed reality contents

Abstract

In this poster, we present an authoring tool for mixed reality (MR) contents, called k-MART. The tool is comprehensive to accommodate many different types of mixed reality applications and platforms, being able to mix and match different types of contexts and behaviors for content creation. The content is intuitively modeled as a collection of "context-behavior" pairs and saved in a declarative manner to be "played" by a content browser. The tool is designed to minimize user programming and offers many abstractions of functionalities with only important details to be filled in by the user using graphical user interfaces. We believe that our approach has a good potential for the wide dissemination and sharing of MR contents. ©2010 IEEE.
