The Augmented Laboratory - 3D, Multiple Object Tracking

Abstract

We discuss the three dimensional, multiple object tracking capabilities of the "Augmented Laboratory", a custom hardware and software setup we created for this purpose. Overall it proves to be a powerful and useful educational tool, not only allowing to use tracking in many more experiments with respect to traditional video tracking, but also creating 3D visualizations of the experiments themselves and of the tracking results. The setup was also tested with a group of aspiring teachers and their comments were here discussed.
