Abstract

This paper presents an inexpensive Augmented Reality (AR) application which is aimed to use with mobile devices. Our application is a marker based AR application, and it can be used by inexpensive three dimensional (3D) red-cyan glasses. In our AR application, we combine left and right views without creating any uncomfortable situation for human eyes. We validate our mobile AR application on several objects, scenes, and views. We show that 3D AR perception can be obtained by using our inexpensive AR application [G\"ung\"or and Kurt 2014].
