Design and implementation of a mobile device for outdoor augmented reality in the ARCHEOGUIDE Project

This paper presents the design and implementation issues associated with the development of a mobile device for theARCHEOGUIDE project. We describe general and application specific design goals as well as the technical requirements the implementation is based upon. Since speed is crucial for an interactive application we provide a survey of mobile and wearable computing equipment especially considering performance aspects. A detailed overview of available hardware components follows. We describe the decisions made during prototype development and present the final result.
