Ontological Context-Awareness for Adaptive Augmented Reality

Authors: Hervás, Ramón; Bravo, José; García-Lillo, Alberto; Fontecha, Jesús; Villarreal, Vladimir

Description: This paper presents a proposal for supporting daily user needs by simple interactions with the environment through an augmented-reality perspective and applying proactive adaptation through knowledge representation using ontologies. The proposed architecture (i-ARA) makes use of principles of Semantic Web that endow context-awareness and user personalization. In addition, this kind of services allows the supervision and management of what is happening at the environment and, in consequence, to improve information offered to users. The architecture has been used to implement applications using iPhone technology and applied to illustrative scenarios.
