Efficient mixed reality application development

In this paper we present the authoring process and the authoring tools for Mixed Reality applications that have been implemented for AMIRE. We introduce concepts that allow non-experts to develop MR applications, with dedicated authoring tools and a well-defined authoring process. The authoring process is reflected in the introduced system architecture. AMIRE is an EU-funded project (IST-2001-34024) where a MR oil-refinery application and a MR museum application are developed.
