Abstract
This paper proposes a novel interactive system that supports augmented reality interaction between mid-air images and physical objects. Our “Mid-air Augmented Reality Interaction with Objects (MARIO)” system enables visual images to be displayed at various positions and precise depths in mid-air. For entertainment purposes, a game character appears in mid-air and runs around and over “real” blocks which users have arranged by hands. Users thereby enjoy interaction with physical blocks and virtual images.
