Abstract: This paper presents a mobile AR system for visualizing airflow and temperature change made by virtual air conditioners. Even though there have been efforts to integrate the results of airflow/temperature simulation into the real world via AR, they support neither interactive modeling of the environments nor real-time simulation. This paper presents an AR system, where 3D mapping and air conditioner installation are made interactively, and then airflow/temperature simulation and visualization are made at real time. The proposed system is designed in a client-server architecture, where the server is in charge of simulation and the rest is taken by the client.
