  title={Azuma A Survey of Augmented Reality},
  author={Tetzlaff Ronald}
}
This paper surveys the field of augmented reality (AR), in which 3D virtual objects are integrated into a 3D real environment in real time. It describes the medical, manufacturing , visualization, path planning, entertainment, and military applications that have been explored. This paper describes the characteristics of augmented reality systems, including a detailed discussion of the tradeoffs between optical and video blending approaches. Registration and sensing errors are two of the biggest…

Object Calibration for Augmented Reality

This work describes the design and implementation of a simple, reliable alignment or calibration process so that computer models can be accurately registered with their real‐life counterparts and shows how it can be used to create convincing interactions between real and virtual objects.

Predictive tracking for augmented reality

This dissertation demonstrates that predicting future head locations is an effective approach for significantly reducing dynamic errors and can also estimate the maximum possible time-domain error and the maximum tolerable system delay given a specified maximum time- domain error.
