Identification of objects in a real world plays a key role for human-computer interaction in a computer-augmented environment using augmented reality techniques. To provide natural and intuitive interaction in such environments, it is necessary for an interface system to know which objects a user is using. In previously developed interface systems, real objects are identified by using specially designed tags attached to objects. In this work, we propose a new method for interactive object recognition and registration; the method permits more natural and intuitive interaction without using any tags. In particular, we introduce interactive object registration and recognition by combining direct manipulation by the user's hands with a color-based object recognition algorithm.
