Augmented Reality (AR) • Rich and meaningful AR experience • Wearable computing • Graphics rendering,display technologies • Spatial model of world • Up-to-date & coherent • Requires trackers and special sensors • Parallels with UbiComp, but crucial difference • Motivation to look at a global approach to unifying different tracking systems
Ubiquitous Tracking • Graph-based model • Express spatial inter-relationships • Dynamically extendible tracker networks of trackers • High-precision, low latency requirements • Framework extensible: • New trackers, filtering schemes, optimisation criteria

Fusion + other filtering “The use of multiple location systems simultaneously to form hierarchical and overlapping levels of sensing to increase accuracy beyond what is possible using any individual system”, Hightower • New inference results in new edge in G(Y) • Model other filtering schemes • Environmental knowledge • Voronoi graphs • Bayesian, particle filters, etc….
Relationship Modelling • Representation • Not just homogeneous matrices • Pixel locations (x,y), 3D positions (x,y,z) • Accelerations and velocities • Attributes • Latency, update frequency, confidence value, pose accuracy, Monetary cost, time-to-live • Difficult to obtain from proprietary devices • Slowly varying (compared to tracking data)
Optical shared tracking • Marker K need only be visible to a single camera • Including other sensors extends range of possible inferences
Future Work • Simulation • Implementation • Studierstube/OpenTracker • DWARF components • Auto-calibration • Model small amounts of uncertainty • Adaptive model • Evaluation
Conclusion • Theoretical framework describing tracking setups • Inter-relationships modelled in a graph • State spaces, attributes, error functions • Extendible • Maps to implementation of UbiTrack concepts (work in progress!) • Partial standardisation of tracker setups • Formal approach towards ubiquity of AR
