This thesis describes the process of creating an augmented reality mobile application which allows designers, architects and researchers to retrieve accurate colour information picked from the real-world environment. Specifically, the goal is not only to obtain colour coordinates for the area of interest but to find a set of matching colour samples in an extensive database of colour atlases provided with the application. To properly understand how the camera sensor perceives colour under current lighting conditions, it must be calibrated beforehand using a physical colour chart. Based on this calibration, we can estimate the picked colour coordinates in a standardised colour space. The mobility aspect is the main advantage of the resulting application. Instead of carrying multiple colour atlases, the user can estimate colour matching just using a mobile device and a portable colour chart.

This paper deals with the phenomena of spatial visualization and interaction of different ways. Thesis definition of interactivity and individual specifications of different technologies. In this work the terms empirically verified. Practical part is trying to find specifics requirements for interaction in different types of spatial visualization.
