ARHome: Object Selection and Manipulation using Raycasting Technique with 3D-model Tracking in Handheld Augmented Reality

In Augmented Reality (AR), virtual objects are superimposed over the real world when viewed on a display device. It allows users to manipulate and engage with virtual objects. This paper explores the virtual object selection and manipulation using the raycasting technique when well suited with 3D model-based tracking technique in AR workspace of a handheld application called ARHome. This paper will explain the design stage involves in achieving the aim. It will then integrate with 3D model-based tracking. The significance of this study is the interaction technique can be applied in other fields such as education, training, commercial or simulation. Based on the results, the aim of this paper was achieved.
