Shading and Shadowing of Architecture in Mixed Reality

We propose a simple method to express shading and shadowing of virtual objects in Mixed Reality especially appropriate for static architecture models in outdoor scenes. We create the shadows of the virtual objects in a fast and efficient way using a set of pre-rendered basis images and shadowing planes. The proposed method is limited in interactivity but can operate in near real-time.
