Abstract :
Pose-aware devices, in concert with functional geometric models describing architectural spaces, enable a new class of indoor applications, including resource location, route finding, direct population and annotation of world models, and direct information overlay. The article describes these applications along with the device infrastructure and algorithms required to support them. We demonstrate a few prototype devices and applications now underway and point to future directions in which these techniques might evolve.
