Paper

Thomas Rausch and his colleagues presented a paper at the IEEE VR 2021 Workshop on Distributed Interactive Systems for Collaboration Experiences (DISCE), sharing the stage with names like Jeff Burke and Mark Billinghurst.

Abstract

This position paper describes CognitiveAR, a system that seamlessly interfaces AR devices with smart city environments. Edge computing nodes distributed throughout the city enable multi-user cognitive assistance applications that require (1) real-time sensor data from the environment, such as approaching cars, and (2) computing resources for low-latency video processing. We discuss three such applications to elicit requirements for a platform to support them, and present our system design.
