Abstract:
Augmented reality is to include multimedia elements in real images captured from the real world. Nowadays mobile devices allow visualizing of high quality multimedia elements and processing video, images and information like a personal computer. The inclusion of augmented reality applications in the mobile devices is growing but so far it has not been massively exploded. Developing games is one of the major applications of this technology. Gymkhanas, guided tours or treasure hunts are funny games that can be improved by the application of AR. However there are not tools that allow the final users for developing their own games. This paper presents an ongoing work that aims to develop an online framework for creating augmented reality games for mobile devices which allows the user for creating their own games sharing them with other people. The application of this tool will not be only focused to gaming: training programs, fire prevention or guided tours could be developed in an easy way.
