Abstract

In this paper I will outline an augmented reality system based on high resolution omni-directional motion image capture, an immersive interactive projection environment, the iDome and multi-layered narrative strategies and applications for educational and entertainment use. This system differs in two ways from other AR frameworks. It operates in non real-time, by employing 360º video recording instead of a live camera feed and it uses immersive projection technology, a 180º dome surface as a display environment. Not being constrained by the requirements of a real-time system, the proposed framework can use high-resolution imagery and immersive display technology to deliver an engaging and true to life experience for the user.
