Abstract:
We describe a system for annotating real-world objects using augmented reality. A virtual form (model) of a real-world object is matched to the real object, allowing one to visually annotate the real components with information from the corresponding model. Augmented reality provides a natural method for presenting the ``enhancing'' computer-based information by merging graphics with a view of the real object. User queries on the real object can be translated into queries on the model, producing feedback that can augment the user's view of the real world.
