2D/3D mixed interface for furniture placement in Smartphone-based mobile augmented reality

Abstract

In this work, we propose to use an approximate 2D map of the environment generated from the latest environment modeling technology and enhance the object manipulation performance for the touch based mobile augmented reality. We validated the advantage of the proposed interface through a pilot experiment and confirmed that the use of the 2D map helps reduce the task completion time almost 2 times and improve the usability as well.
