Abstract
We have developed a new Semi-Transparent Augmented Reality (AR) system that displays the inner structures of objects by making their surface semi-transparent. In this system we combine the live video of the object of interest and 3D computer graphics (3DCG) models with appropriate transparency and in proper order using AR technology. This system shows the 3DCG models of inner structures as if they existed inside the object.
