Abstract

Graphical libraries are used usually in augmentation process in order to merge together virtual and real objects. This paper focuses on a new type of virtual objects and their visual manipulation by a user. They are the captured real objects’ images and are not graphically generated. We call them virtualized real objects (VRO). They are important for cases where real objects’ 3D models are not available. They are also useful to test heavy or big real objects adaptation to some places. The paper presents one foundation of an augmentation that uses VRO and a camera’s auto-calibration related on a 2D pattern. In the occurrence, how real objects’ images can be inserted in a sequence and how to allow their manipulation for an operation of a visual disposition.
