Synchronized AR environment for multiple users using animation markers

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an AR environment in which multiple users can synchronously share and see AR contents based on our proposed animation markers with time-sequence information. Many AR systems have been proposed, some of which consider simultaneous use by multiple users. However, these systems require a synchronization mechanism among users (devices) for simultaneous displaying. Such mechanisms complicate the systems. Thus, we propose an animation marker that can transmit temporal (frame) information in a synchronized AR environment among multiple users using our animation markers.
