See-Through Vision for Mobile Outdoor Augmented Reality
In Demo at IEEE and ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality, Cambridge, England, September 2008, 2008

We have developed a system built on our mobile Augmented Reality platform that provides users with see-through vision, allowing visualization of occluded objects textured with real-time video information. The users will be able to wear our lightweight, belt-mounted wearable computer and head mounted display. The display will render locations captured from the University of South Australia. These locations consist of 3D models of buildings and courtyard areas that are textured with pre-recorded video images. The system includes a collection of visualizations and tools that assist with viewing these occluded real-world locations; e.g. digital zoom and texture highlighting.
