Abstract
An augmented reality (AR) interaction authoring system is described. The AR interaction authoring system is configured to support the real-time creation of AR applications to support AR-enhanced toys. The design of the AR interaction authoring system enables bidirectional interactions between the physical-virtual space of toys and AR. The AR interaction authoring system allows intuitive authoring of AR animations and toys actuations through programming by demonstration, while referring to the physical toy for a contextual reference. Using a visual programming interface, users can create bidirectional interactions by utilizing users' input on toys to trigger AR animations and vice versa. A plug-and-play IoT toolkit is also disclosed that includes hardware to actuate common toys. In this way, users can effortlessly integrate toys into the virtual world in an impromptu design process, without lengthy electronic prototyping.
