Abstract :
In this paper, we discuss depth visualization techniques for virtual annotations to alleviate the depth ambiguity problem. We begin by describing the depth ambiguity problem with regard to virtual annotations. Then a number of possible solutions are discussed by introducing a metaphor of monocular depth cues, and the effectiveness and characteristics of the three visualization techniques are shown through the preliminary experiments.
