Utilizing the Mobile 3D technology’s potentials in the spatial orientation

Abstract

Recent developments make it possible for the mobile devices without GPS system (such as mobile phones and PDA-s) to determine their spatial situation on the visual informations given by the embedded camera, complete the environment with virtual objects, and display the created world. This conception can be used at the visualisation of archeological fossils and the original condition of ruined sections of streets or towns, where the bygone environment is shown according to the viewer’s position and orientation. Comparing with the similar existing systems the advantages are cheapness, flexibility and the possible wide range of usage. The mobile device used for this purpose must accomplish a very complex task. This paper discusses the arising problems during the development and gives proposals for solving them.
