ABSTRACT
Most outdoor activities, such as alpine climbing, cycling, or hiking, require a careful route planning in advance. Today, most routing applications are single-user desktop applications. Furthermore, it is good practice to be able to do paper map based navigation during the trip as a backup. In this work, we propose ARTopos, a concept and implementation of a augmented reality (AR) 3D topographic map visualization, which combines analog paper map planning and digital routing service. It augments paper topographic maps with a digital terrain map suitable for interaction and displaying forecast information. We implemented a first prototype for which we gathered generally positive qualitative feedback as a first initial evaluation. We envision ARTopos as an interactive, collaborative tool can be used during the preliminary trip briefing for most adventurous activities.
