ARBench: Augmented Reality Benchmark For Mobile Devices

Abstract

This paper takes an important step towards the improvement of the AR mobile experience by designing and developing ARBench, the first Augmented Reality (AR) benchmark for mobile devices. ARBench incorporates different AR workloads that stress multiple hardware units of the SoC (CPU, GPU, DSP, etc), and measures the individual score for each AR workload. The proposed benchmark suite is then used to evaluate the AR performance of various commercial mobile devices, and their ability to support various functions of AR workloads.
