Interactive features based augmented reality authoring tool

This paper intends to propose an authoring tool system that allows users to easily create augmented reality content with the application of marker based and gesture interactions. It is possible to generate a simplified form of marker based augmented reality content with the user interface by using Kinect that enables gesture interaction. We seek to provide methods for the user to actively interact with augmented reality content. The interaction method we put forth in this study is a gesture interaction approach capable of Transfer, Rotate, Enlarge, and Shrink an object by recognizing and tracking the user's bare hand. As for marker based interaction methods, there is one employing two markers and another using marker occlusion. We ascertain the positive results of this study from the user evaluation of an authoring tool system and marker based and gesture interactions.
