Bread Crumbs: A Technique for Modelling Large Outdoor Ground Features

This paper presents a new technique we have created, known as Bread Crumbs, which allows the modelling of large outdoor ground features using a mobile augmented reality system and a user’s physical presence. Using this technique, we demonstrate an example of modelling a large grassy area on campus. This technique is one component of a larger set of tools which allow users to capture and work with complex outdoor geometry interactively, and to view this geometry in new and interesting ways.
