In-Place Sketching for content authoring in Augmented Reality games

Sketching leverages human skills for various purposes. In-Place Augmented Reality Sketching experiences build on the intuitiveness and flexibility of hand sketching for tasks like content creation. In this paper we explore the design space of In-Place Augmented Reality Sketching, with particular attention to content authoring in games. We propose a contextual model that offers a framework for the exploration of this design space by the research community. We describe a sketch-based AR racing game we developed to demonstrate the proposed model. The game is developed on top of our shape recognition and 3D registration library for mobile AR.
