Although VR and AR applications have very similar requirements in terms of abstract components<br />(like 6DOF input, stereoscopic output, simulation engines), the requirements in terms of hardware and software vary<br />considerably. In this article we would like to share the experience gained from adapting our VR software framework for<br />AR applications. We will address design issues for this task. The result is a VR/AR basic software that allows us to<br />implement interactive applications without fixing their type (VR or AR) beforehand. Switching from VR to AR is a matter<br />of changing the configuration file of the application. We also give an example of the use of the extended framework:<br />Augmenting the magnetic field of bar magnets in physics classes. We describe the setup of the system and the realtime<br />calculation of the magnetic field, using a GPU.}, number={2}, journal={Journal on Interactive Systems}, author={Mannuss, Florian and Bingel, Florian and Hinkenjann, André}, year={2013}, month={Jan.} }
