Abstract
The authors propose an augmented reality application system for Mahjong. The idea of this application is that visual augmentation by means of the AR method will help a Mahjong beginner play games, learn rules from his/her game experiences under the support of the system, and thus become an experienced player who can play without any support. The system captures Mahjong tiles via a USB camera, recognize the current state, and visually augment tiles to guide the user perform desirable actions. Our implementation and evaluation of the system are reported in this paper.
