Abstract

In this paper, we present an architecture for distributed augmented reality (AR) services. The presented architecture is based on a client-server design, which supports semantic modeling and building contextual AR presentations for a large number of users. It encompasses two approaches: SOA and CARE. The Service-Oriented Architecture enables building distributed systems that provide application functionality as services to either end-user applications or other services. In turn, CARE allows semantic modeling of AR environments, which combined with SOA enables dividing responsibility between loosely coupled semantic services distributed on the internet. We also provide the results of an experimental evaluation of the performance of a prototype based on the above-mentioned architecture. The findings are promising and demonstrate that an application of semantic web techniques can be an effective approach to implementation of large-scale contextual distributed AR services.
