Chameleon was a handheld 3D computer interaction research project done by George Fitzmaurice. The Chameleon acted as a “window” or “porthole” into a large information space.[1] It was tracked using 6DOF.
It was technically not augmented reality, because the handheld device only had a view into a purely virtual space.[1]
It used electromagnetic tracking.[1]
Its electromagnetic tracking was using an Ascension bird tracker.[1]
It was the first handheld spatially aware display - a precursor to handheld AR. It consisted of a tethered handheld LCD screen that showed the video output of an SGI graphics workstation and was spatially tracked.[2][3]
