Mobile augmented reality requires accurate alignment of virtual information
with objects visible in the real world. We describe a system for mobile co
mmunications to be developed to meet these strict alignment criteria using
a combination of computer vision. inertial tracking and low-latency renderi
ng techniques. A prototype low-power and low-latency renderer using an off-
the-shelf 3D card is discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights r
