System specifications of augmented reality smart television service

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) technology is a kind of mixed reality which 2D/3D graphics are integrated into the real world in order to enhance user experience and enrich information. Augmented Reality Smart Television (AR-STV) is TV broadcasting using AR technology to blend augmented content (2D/3D graphic object) with broadcasting content in real-time on receiving terminals. The augmented content overlaid in the augmentation region is fixed statically or moves along the trajectory as if AR-based location application shows path information on the real location from a smart-phone’s camera. AR-STV provides that TV viewers can choose whether user turn on the augmented content or watch the original TV content only (without the augmented content).
