Demonstration of mobile virtual archery

Abstract

In this demonstration we demonstrate the result of the project "Mobile Virtual Archery", a mobile phone based virtual reality simulator for traditional archery. We attached a mobile phone to a real archery bow to act as a "magic window" into a virtual outdoor 3D world. The user is able to orient the bow using all three axes and the virtual scene is updated in real-time. We provide a 360° scene with a number of targets placed at different positions. With our mobile 3D simulator we want to provide a believable archery experience and support users in practicing the motion sequence of traditional archery in a virtual environment.
