Project Overview

The project is building upon the work found in the prior project ArtifactVis with Android Device. The goal of MagicLens is to allow the user to use an android device as a "magical lens" to view the world. The device will update its perspective on the world depending on its location in the world. Additonally head tracking will affect how the world is displayed depending on how it is viewed by the user.
