Week 2

Research on edge computing:
– Wikipedia, Youtube
– Open Edge Computing Initiative
– OpenRTIST Papers

Brainstorm AR-edge features:
– Edge-native feature-1: Detect player and change the background in real time.
– Edge-native feature-2: AR shooting
– Edge-native feature-3: Adding helmets, armour, shields, or changing facial appearance with AR camera which involves fast real time image processing. – Edge-native feature-4: AR combat, to use front camera to identify player’s hand and arm position and rotation, and use these data to control a virtual hand/ melee weapon to attack/ defense enemies.
– Edge-native feature-5:In game, the system will be able to detect different body parts, and differentiate them with colors. When players hit different parts, they will earn a corresponding score.
