more advanced research issues are exposed for further studies. The ultimate
goal of the mobile device is an optical see through mobile augmented reality
system running on a wearable computer. The rotation of the mobile player
that changes the corresponding 3-D display of the virtual space is another
important issue. In a MiMAR system, the digital compass is used to detect
the rotation of the mobile player. The digital compass has a well-known inac-
curate and unstable problem. Conclusively, other auxiliary direction-sensing
devices require more progressive exploration. Currently, the research for
using the optical flow technology to detect the mobile player's rotation is
under investigation. Finally, the performance of the MSS is another impor-
tant topic that deserves further exploration. Experiments to explore this issue
are underway currently.
