CrowdAR Table - An AR Table for Interactive Crowd Simulation

Abstract

In this paper we describe a prototype implementation of an augmented reality (AR) system for accessing and interacting with crowd simulation software. We identify a target audience and tasks (access to the software in a science museum) motivate the choice of AR system (an interactive table complemented with handheld AR via smartphones) and describe its implementation. Our system has been realized in a prototypical implementation verifying its feasibility and potential. Detailed user testing will be part of our future work.
