Abstract

The main objective of this research is to implement a solution for precise visualization of 3D virtual elements where distances from the environment’s participant to the object are up to ~200 m. The primary results of this research should ensure a dynamic and animated three-dimensional (3D) computer model depiction in augmented reality (AR) mode without the use of fiducial or image-based markers. Such technological innovation will offer ample cases of augmented reality use in various industries and have economic ramifications. Current outdoor AR solutions lack precision, stability, operational range and multiple 3D object depiction in one scenario, dynamic properties to allow a participant to move freely in an environment without the loss of immersion.
