Augmented reality is a state-of-the-art technology which presents auxiliary information by synthesizing real world scene with synthetic objects. Some augmented reality applications are commercially available according to the advance of mobile device capability. They combine strong points of "mobility" of mobile devices and augmented reality technology. Mobile games based on augmented reality technology are expected to become widespread in the near future. Therefore, mobile augmented reality technology is crucial for mobile games such as board games and so on. This paper analyzes the research trend of mobile augmented reality and presents some latest research results. Based on this analysis, future directions for mobile augmented reality are given.
