5.5 Final choice on <strong>system</strong> components <strong>an</strong>d perspective<br />

Now that has been presented several proposals for the components with their respective<br />

desirability, here the final choice for <strong>system</strong> components is stated. Hereby the rationale<br />

behind the choice is not laid out; just the results are given.<br />

For the invisible marker tracking components the choice has been made for the first<br />

proposal. This consists <strong>of</strong> the following:<br />

• IR Ink Pen<br />

• IR bullet camera with 715nm IR filter<br />

• 12 VDC Power supply<br />

• USB 2.0 Video Grabber<br />

The choice for the stereoscopic video see-through HMD is taken from the second<br />

proposal:<br />

• ARVision3D, Goggles model<br />

The choice for the optical see-through HMD is taken from the first proposal:<br />

• Liteye-500, SVGA model<br />

With these chosen <strong>system</strong> components the next step is to merge them into a complete<br />

<strong>system</strong> that is capable <strong>of</strong> supporting AR applications based upon <strong>ARToolKit</strong> with user<br />

invisible markers. Two directions will be taken to cover the complete possibilities, to<br />

have a greater ch<strong>an</strong>ce on success <strong>an</strong>d, if successfully implemented, to have a choice on<br />

which approach to use <strong>an</strong>d further develop in the future. The two vari<strong>an</strong>ts that will be<br />

tried are the follwing:<br />

• Implementing <strong>an</strong> AR <strong>system</strong> based upon the selected hardware components for<br />

invisible marker tracking, <strong>an</strong>d the selected stereoscopic video see-through HMD.<br />

• Implementing <strong>an</strong> AR <strong>system</strong> based upon the selected hardware components for<br />

invisible marker tracking, <strong>an</strong>d the selected monoscopic optical see-through<br />

HMD. Hereby needs to be noted that this solution will only cover one eye.<br />
