Getting new content to a mobile-based AR system either requires a wired data connection to a PC or a wireless connection. Both of these can be far from ideal - a PC connection cannot be done on the fly and wireless data connections can cost a lot. The ability to provide information through the camera is one way forward.
This demo of ‘in-place augmented reality’ is particularly neat (if you skip the boring bits) because the data is presented in a human-understandable format that makes sense without AR. A lot could be done using these techniques, such as providing new textures or content for released games.
Presented at ISMAR 2008 by the Visual Media Lab, Ben Gurion Universiry of the Negev.
