KITE: Platform for mobile Augmented Reality gaming and interaction using magnetic tracking and depth sensing

In this paper, we describe the KITE, a mobile Augmented Reality (AR) platform that uses a magnetic tracker and a depth sensor for games and interaction development that is typically only available on a desktop system. We have achieved this using off-the-shelf hardware and efficient software that can be easily assembled and executed. We demonstrate four possible modalities based on hand input to provide a platform that game and interaction designers can use to explore new possibilities for gaming in AR.
