Augmented reality on the iPhone platform

Abstract

In this thesis, I designed and implemented an iPhone implementation of the Outdoor Augmented Reality client developed by the Schellar Teacher Education Program at MIT. The work began as a simple port, but it soon became clear that a redesign of the current system architecture was necessary to provide better cross platform compatibility, especially in light of the possibility of a future Android implementation of the game client. I designed a flexible and extensible new architecture that achieves that purpose. Furthermore, the new architecture also adds more features to the game such as having basic Al for game characters.
