Augmented Reality with large and complex markers?

It sounds like you might want to start investigating natural feature tracking libraries. In general the tracking is smoother and more robust than with markers, and any feature-full natural image can be used as the marker. The downside is, I'm not aware of any non-proprietary solutions.

You should look at MOPED. MOPED is a real-time Object Recognition and Pose Estimation system. It recognizes objects from point-based features (e.g. SIFT, SURF) and their geometric relationships extracted from rigid 3D models of objects.

See this video for a demonstration.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
