The history of the DWARF project The starting point of developing an Augmented Reality system at the Technische Universit¨at M¨unchen was the course “Erweiterte Realit¨at: Bildbasierte Modellierung und Tragbare Computer”. It was part of the 1999 summer school organized by the Technische Universit¨at M¨unchen and the Friedrichs- Alexander Universit¨at Erlangen-N¨urnberg. Prof. Bernd Br¨ugge and Prof. Gudrun Klinker had the vision that software engineering and Augmented Reality would have a stimulating influence on each other. There, the idea was born to develop an own Augmented Reality system based on modern software engineering concepts. The project name was DWARF for Distributed Wearable Augmented Reality Framework
