There is a lot of excitement about new hardware for Virtual Reality and
Augmented Reality (AR) that may finally make these technologies
accessible to large audiences. With basic enabling technologies, such as
tracking and displays, finally lifted to acceptable quality levels,
content creation will surely be one of the next challenges faced by AR
developers. Creating interactive experiences which are registered to
objects in the user's physical environment is challenging, both from a
cognitive perspective (how can we visualize in AR?) and from a technical
perspective (how can we procedurally create 3D-registered content). This
talk will investigate several showcases of illustrative visualization
techniques, which work in AR, together with suitable authoring
approaches, which make the creation of interactive AR content feasible.
