Interaction of Mobile Camera Devices with physical maps
raditional paper-based maps are still superior to their dig- ital counterparts used on mobile devices in several ways. They provide high-resolution, large-scale information with zero power consumption. On the other hand digital maps provide personalized and dynamic infor- mation on request, but suffer from small outer scales and low resolutions.

Map Torch Light (Projector Phone): A Mobile Augmented Reality Camera Projector Unit
In this video we present a first prototype of a “Mobile Augmented Reality Camera Projector Unit”.

For our first implementation we use a Nokia N95 as a camera and computing unit and an Aiptek mobile projector. Great thanks to Markus Löchtefeld, Michael Rohs & Antonio Krüger.
