Abstract
The Augmented Reality (AR) concept has excited visionaries and researchers for decades, and finally its enabling technologies are beginning to materialize on consumer-grade mobile devices. The availability of powerful mobile computing platforms combined with fast

mobile Internet access, opens the door to ‘solid’ visual/auditory augmentation of the world with geo-spatial knowledge, distilled from our personal digital lifestyles in social networks and the cloud. However, convincing AR has to date only been demonstrated on small mock-ups in controlled spaces. We have not yet seen key conditions

being met to make AR a booming technology: seamless persistence and pervasiveness. This paper introduces the FP7 funded VENTURI... (More)
The Augmented Reality (AR) concept has excited visionaries and researchers for decades, and finally its enabling technologies are beginning to materialize on consumer-grade mobile devices. The availability of powerful mobile computing platforms combined with fast

mobile Internet access, opens the door to ‘solid’ visual/auditory augmentation of the world with geo-spatial knowledge, distilled from our personal digital lifestyles in social networks and the cloud. However, convincing AR has to date only been demonstrated on small mock-ups in controlled spaces. We have not yet seen key conditions

being met to make AR a booming technology: seamless persistence and pervasiveness. This paper introduces the FP7 funded VENTURI project and its technologies, which aims to create a pervasive AR paradigm. The goal is to create an AR experience that is always present whilst

never obstructing, delivering pertinent information in a ‘user’ rather than a ‘device’ centric way. This requires a change in how we think of and develop user interaction interfaces, making ‘context’ the starting point of all interactions. VENTURI addresses such issues, creating a user appropriate, contextually aware AR system, through

a seamless integration of core technologies and applications on a state-of-the-art mobile platform. (Less)
