Abstract

This paper presents a novel augmented reality system which allows a user to visualize 3-D region of interest to share with other users in a real environment. To allocate the region, user specifies a point on the target object through a mobile display. The most remarkable difference from the existing works is that semantic information of the environment is not given. This kind of augmented reality application is still few though vision tracking techniques without prior knowledge about environment are coming into practical use. By realizing minimum set of our concept, we could found several concrete future works, most of which are computer vision problems.
