Recently, a co-authored conference paper was published at EuroMed 2020: Digital Heritage, Progress in Cultural Heritage: Documentation, Preservation, and Protection, sponsored by Springer. The paper is entitled “Look Behind You! – Using a Face Camera for Mobile Augmented Reality Odometry” and exploits the possibility of using the face cameras available in mobile devices for augmented reality tracking.
The paper proposes a prototype composed of iPhone and iPad devices and evaluates its contribution in two scenarios that current systems cannot handle. The results reveal the clear benefit of this approach for the cultural heritage, allowing it to operate in situations when users look up in the sky to see the roof of virtual buildings, or when they move closer to a white wall to perceive details of a virtual painting.
