The Invisible Train is the first real multi-user Augmented Reality application for handheld devices (PDAs). Unlike other projects, in which wearable devices were merely used as thin-clients,
while powerful (PC-based) servers performed a majority of the
computations (such as graphics rendering), our software runs
independently on off-the-shelf PDAs - eliminating the need for an
expensive infractructure.
The Invisible Train is a mobile,
collaborative multi-user Augmented Reality (AR) game, in which players
control virtual trains on a real wooden miniature railroad track. These
virtual trains are only visible to players through their PDA's video
see-through display as they don't exist in the physical world. This
type of user interface is commonly called the "magic lens metaphor".
