An LED-Marker-Based Augmented Reality Guide System for Museums

Abstract

An Augmented Reality (AR) guide system that does not spoil a space design is important for a museum. In this paper, we propose an AR guide system that uses an Light Emitting Diode (LED) as a marker. An LED marker does not spoil a space design and yields high recognition accuracy even from a long distance. For a user, an LED marker is intuitive and can provide the content in a highly enjoyable manner. We also discuss fusion of the low-cost LED marker recognition method and the accelerometer-gyroscope sensor. Our system can easily be used with unmodified examples of commercially available mobile devices.
