I also think that some research should be done about the idea of turning everyday
objects into tracking markers. For instance, several flat-headed tacks spread out in
specific positions can be turned into a reference point for an AR application. A more
elegant solution can be used: a player turns a square sticky note into a fiducial by
folding three of its corners, and such approach can be entitled origami AR marker.
Another example is stickers or special branded custom cases for the iPhone/iPad,
where to play a game, a player must take the case off and put it on the table. The
idea is that the virtual game board is always with you. By the way, the silicone iPhone
5C Case with a distinctive grid of holes in it has an interesting potential as an AR
accessory; may be somebody could turn such design into an object-based marker.
