Abstract

Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) superimposes computer generated virtual objects directly on physical objects' surfaces. This enables user to interact with real world objects in a natural manner. This chapter investigates SAR techniques and summarizes advantages with the difficulties of SAR in presenting digital information to users. The chapter then presents a concept of portable collaborative SAR. The concept utilizes both projector-based SAR and Head-Mounted-Display (HMD) based Augmented Reality (AR) in a single environment to assist collaborations within multiple users. The concept combines advantages of both projector-based SAR for collaboration and HMD-based AR display in personalization to improve the efficiency of collaborative tasks. The presented concept is explored in a case study of industrial quality assurance scenario to show its effectiveness.
