Abstract
This thesis describes the research on developing an authoring tool for
mobile phone Augmented Reality (AR) applications. This work is based on
earlier work at the HIT Lab NZ on ComposAR, a tool for authoring PC
based AR applications. We describe modifications to ComposAR that
allows end-users to prototype mobile AR applications on a PC, and player
software that allows prototype AR applications to be delivered on a mobile
phone. In this way, end-users with little programming experience can
develop simple mobile AR applications. To prove the applicability of this
authoring tool, a user evaluation was conducted with some users and
performance compared between programmers and non-programmers and
across different authoring tools
