An Efficient Framework for Making Spatial Augmented Reality Digital Contents

We introduce a new framework for making spatial augmented reality contents fast and with low cost. The framework allows us to make projection-based augmented reality using off-the-shelf webcams and projectors. Contents producers can make a projection-based augmented reality contents easy and fast by setting a webcam and a projector and then controlling user interfaces of our framework. Since most of previous solutions are expensive and it is too difficult that the producers apply augmented reality techniques themselves, the framework helps them to concentrate contents. Once we set a webcam and a projector correctly, our framework projects a virtual object contents according to the manipulation of a trackable real object. As a result we can see realistic augmented reality contents.
