Light Detecting 3D User Interface-Equipped System for Mixed and Augmented Reality Games

This paper suggests a novel and interactive system for three dimensional games in mixed and augmented reality (MAR). The proposed system allows a user to interact with 3D virtual objects with accuracy by locating a source of light using simple light detecting algorithms. From our pilot study, our tangible system proved to be highly usable and beneficial for 3D MAR gameplay with inexpensive accompanying equipment. Here, we provide implementation details, present results from a pilot study, and outline future directions.
