  abstract =   "Visualization systems often require large monitors or
               projection screens to display complex information. Even very
               sophisticated systems that exhibit complex user interfaces
               do usually not exploit advanced input and output devices.
               One of the reasons for that is the high cost of special
               hardware. This paper introduces Augmen- ted Visualization,
               an interaction method for projection walls as well as
               monitors using affordable and widely available hardware such
               as mobile phones or tablets. The main technical challenge is
               the track- ing of the users’ devices without any special
               equipment or fiducial markers in the working area. We
               propose to track natural features of the display content
               with the built-in camera of mobile devices. Tracking the
               visualized scene allows pose estimation of the mobile
               devices with six degrees of freedom. The position and
               orientation information is then used for advanced
               interaction metaphors like magic lenses. For a group of
               experts who are analyzing the data in front of the same
               screen, a personal augmented view of the visua- lized scene
               is presented, for each user on his/her personal device. The
               prototype Augmented Visualization System achieves
               interactive frame rates and may lead to a greatly enhanced
               user experience. The paper discusses the design and
               implementation questions and illustrates potential
               application scenarios.",
