BT_Daniel_KurzLaserpointer-Tracking in Real EnvironmentsDescriptionAugmented reality does not narrow itself to classic displays like monitors or screens, but utilises technolgies like calibrated projectors and radiometric compensation so every environment can become a display for interactive content. As classic desktop devices like keyboard and mouse do not suite such systems demand for intuitive and fast input devices. In this field Laserpointer-Tracking has turned out to be a good way to interact over a distance with a display. In this thesis a system that enables Laserpointer-Tracking in real enviroments is introduced. A hybrid camera system, consisting of a pan-tilt-zoom camera - acting as a detail camera - and a fish-eye camera - in the role of a context camera - allows the localisation and tracking of a laserpoint, and therfore interaction in an area of 360◦ x 180◦. Thus the localisation of the laserpoint position enables interaction in the physical space. Further the system is able to build a 3D model of the surrounding scenery by sampling geometric and textural information making use of the lasermodule and the detail camera.
