• Abstract: Venturi aims to create a pervasive Augmented Reality paradigm, where available information will be presented in a user- rather than device-specific way. The goal is to create an experience that is always present whilst never obstructing. Venturi will exploit, optimize and extend current and next generation mobile platforms; verifying platform and QoE performance through life-enriching use cases and applications to ensure device-to-user continuity.
