Build-it: Desktop Augmented reality
Build-It is an AR based desktop tool based on intuitive manipulation for the support of planning and configuration tasks.
Build-it can be used for Computer SUpported Collaborate work; multiple people can collaborate in the same virtual space mixing computer generated objects with real. A multitude of bricks can be used at teh same time by different group members.
Build-it has a so-called graspable user interface. An interface is called graspable when each function of the interface is operated by means of a dedicated physical device. The device serves as a graspable function.
Build-It presents the user with two views: a table view showing the virtual environment in plan, and a wall projection, showing the virtual environment in perspective. The plan view contains a (virtual) camera that determines the image presented on the wall view.
