Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Augmented Reality (AR) employs computer vision, image processing and computer graphics techniques to merge digital content into the real world.
It enables real-time interaction between the user, real objects and virtual objects.
AR can, for example, be used to embed 3D graphics into a video in such a way as if the virtual elements were part of the real environment.
In this work, we give a thorough overview of the theory and applications of AR.

One of the challenges of AR is to align virtual data with the environment.
A marker-based approach solves the problem using visual markers, e.g. 2D barcodes, detectable with computer vision methods.
We discuss how different marker types and marker identification and detection methods affect the performance of the AR application and how to select the most suitable approach for a given application.

Alternative approaches to the alignment problem do not require furnishing the environment with markers: detecting natural features occurring in the environment and using additional sensors.
We discuss these as well as hybrid tracking methods that combine the benefits of several approaches.

Besides the correct alignment, perceptual issues greatly affect user experience of AR.
We explain how appropriate visualization techniques enhance human perception in different situations and consider issues that create a seamless illusion of virtual and real objects coexisting and interacting.
Furthermore, we show how diminished reality, where real objects are removed virtually, can improve the visual appearance of AR and the interaction with real-world objects.

Finally, we discuss practical issues of AR application development, identify potential application areas for augmented reality and speculate about the future of AR.
In our experience, augmented reality is a profound visualization method for on-site 3D visualizations when the user's perception needs to be enhanced.
