[POSTER] Mixed-Reality Store on the Other Side of a Tablet

Abstract

This paper proposes a mixed-reality shopping system for users who do not own a PC but do own a tablet. In this system, while viewing panoramic images photographed along the aisles of a real store, the user can move freely around the store. Products can be selected and freely viewed from any angle. Furthermore, by utilizing a Photo-based augmented reality (Photo AR) technology the product can be displayed as if it were in the hands of the user. The results of a user evaluation showed that even though the proposed system uses a tablet with a smaller screen it was preferred over a conventional e-commerce site using a larger monitor.
