Abstract

This paper describes the combination of two technologies, augmented reality and GIS, to provide a new way to visualise viticulture GIS data using outdoor mobile computers. Viticulturists use GIS to assist with accurately understanding the parameters that affect their yields and quality of the grapes from different vineyards. The ability to view this data in the field digitally would be advantageous to the viticulturist. This paper describes the ARVino system; an AR platform that was built for visualising 3D data outdoors using a movable tripod-based computer. We describe the user interface, some problems that were encountered, and how the visualisation and interface were evaluated through an expert review.
