Abstract
A system and method for realizing multi-user augmented reality. The system includes a first and second computing devices in communication with each other, and respectively constructing a first and a second three-dimensional (3D) maps of a same environment at different viewing angles and positions. The first and second computing devices are configured to assign one of the 3D maps as a reference map, and align the other one of the 3D maps to the reference map, such that the 3D maps have the same coordinate system. A 3D model of a product is also placed and rendered in the two 3D maps, and the operation of the 3D model in one computing device is reflected in the other computing device at real time.
