ii Abstract An Augmented Reality (AR) application combines the virtual world and reality to enhance the user‟s perception of the real world. Earlier, augmented reality technology had not found much commercial success because it required bulky gadgets and considerable processing power. But now AR technologies are available and computationally feasible on commodity mobile devices, such as smartphones. Pose estimation AR applications make use of inbuilt hardware features like the accelerometer, magnetometer and Global Positioning System (GPS) for overlaying images onto the real world. However, the dependence of the working of AR on hardware features gives rise to new challenges, which must be addressed in order to provide augmentation in as seamless a manner as possible. These challenges include real time estimation of the user‟s viewport, geo-magnetic sensor noise, the delay in receiving GPS data, and the synchronization of timer threads. Other challenges include those of debugging and testing because realistic GPS feeds and other sensory data are unavailable during development. Next, most AR applications have the need for common framework-based services, such as tracking, image registration and interface handling. This thesis also explores the feasibility of such a framework, where a reusable platform is coupled with a customizable application specific component to create the AR application. iii Finally, this thesis also proposes an architecture for an AR application that lives and evolves inside a cyber-infrastructure, in order to support a wider range of users through the development of a wider range of AR applications.
