Abstract
This paper presents a method of context-based mobile on-site creation of complex interactive augmented reality (AR) content. The method significantly simplifies the content creation process by providing a WYSIWYG authoring mode for AR scenes. In the paper, an AR authoring tool, called MARAT—Mobile Augmented Reality Authoring Tool, is presented. The tool allows users without programming skills to create interactive AR presentations on mobile devices directly on-site, where the AR presentations will be accessed by end-users. The use of the MARAT application for building AR-based virtual museum exhibitions is presented.
