Multi-view augmented reality with a drone

Abstract

This paper presents some early results from an exploration into Augmented Reality (AR) applications where users have access to controllable alternative viewing positions based on a camera mounted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). These results include a system specification that defines and identifies the requirements of multi-view AR; and a demo application where the user can switch between the traditional first person and third person view. While being an initial step in the investigation, the results do illustrate practical applications for multi-view AR functionality. The paper concludes with a discussion on the next steps for the investigation.
