Interactive 4D Overview and Detail Visualization in Augmented Reality

The aim of this paper was to contribute to the research of the visualization
of time-oriented data in AR. In particular, since fast developing
3D reconstruction techniques allow to provide more and
more 3D data and arise the question what to do with it. Therefore,
we plan in the future to extend this 4D visualization concept
for different application scenarios. Such as AR visualization of instruction
manuals, visualization of environment changes or medical
application.
