Invited Paper: Edge-based Provisioning of Holographic Content for Contextual and Personalized Augmented Reality

Mobile augmented reality (AR) has been attracting considerable attention from industry and academia due to its potential to provide vibrant immersive experiences that seamlessly blend physical and virtual worlds. In this paper we focus on creating contextual and personalized AR experiences via edge-based on-demand provisioning of holographic content most appropriate for the conditions and/or most matching user interests. We present edge-based hologram provisioning and pre-provisioning frameworks we developed for Google ARCore and Magic Leap One AR experiences, and describe open challenges and research directions associated with this approach to holographic content storage and transfer. The code we have developed for this paper is available online.
