B. Bruegge, A. MacWilliams, T. Reicher Study on Software Architectures for Augmented Reality Systems Report to the ARVIKA consortium; technical report TUM-I0410 (bib)
	This study was conducted from April through July of 2002 at the Chair for Applied Software Engineering of the Technische Universität München. It was commissioned by the ARVIKA project as a contribution to the ongoing analysis of the ARVIKA software architecture and in response to the recommendations of the ARVIKA review board in October 2001. In this document, we present the results of the study. These include an overview of the Augmented Reality (AR) research landscape from the perspective of software architecture; in-depth descriptions of individual architectures; a reference architecture for comparing AR systems; and a classification of the architectural approaches used to address the subproblems of AR. This report targets architects of new and of existing augmented reality systems wishing to chose an architecture for their system or evaluate and improve their own architecture.
