Augmenting Buildings with Infrared Information
Autor: Andreas Butz and Jörg Baus and Antonio KrügerHerausgeber:
We describe a building information and navigation system based on Palm
Pilot PDAs and a set of strong infrared transmitters, located
throughout a building. The infrared senders stream localized data,
thus effectively augmenting areas of space with localized
information. This information can be perceived by just entering those
areas with the PDA in your hand. We show that this form of
augmentation of an environment can serve a multitude of purposes and
requires neither the employment of classic 3D augmented reality nor to
carry around wearable computers nor to wear head mounted displays.
