iOrb - Unifying Command and 3D Input for Mobile Augmented Reality (2004)
	Input for mobile augmented reality systems is notoriously difficult. Three dimensional visualization would be ideally accompanied with 3D interaction, but accurate tracking technology usually relies on fixed infrastructure and is not suitable for mobile use. Command input is simpler but usually tied to devices that are not suitable for 3D interaction and therefore require an additional mapping. The standard mapping is to use image plane techniques relative to the users view. We present a new concept - the iOrb - that combines simple 3D interaction for selection and dragging with a 2D analog input channel suitable for command input in mobile applications.

Outdoor Collaborative Augmented Reality (2003)
	The aim of this project is to investigate how two or more users can interact on such tasks as navigation and information browsing/display with the help of Augmented Reality in an outdoor environment. It is based on the hard- and software developed in the Mobile Collaborative Augmented Reality subproject of the Studierstube research project.

Mobile Collaborative Augmented Reality (2000)
	Mobile computing is naturally complemented by Augmented Reality (AR), which superimposes computer-generated images onto a user's perception of the real world via devices such as see-through or see-around head mounted displays (HMD). As a consequence, a portable 3D information space becomes available to the user. Such systems are often combined with position sensing devices (such as differential GPS) to yield location aware computing, which associates computer-generated images with arbitrary landmarks of the real world.
