“…Some of the listed WOZ tools are flexible but not mobile [26]. Examples of mobile WOZ tools include ConWIZ [29], Linnell et al 's tool [31], and Topiary [24], but they do not support integration of other form factors nor can they be used for exploring AR. In most of the studies, the human operator's role is stationed in a control room hidden from the participants.…”

“…In most of the studies, the human operator's role is stationed in a control room hidden from the participants. However, with mobile tools such as ConWIZ [29], Linnell et al 's tool [31], and Topiary [24], the wizard was able to follow the participants and update the UI accordingly, but it is not clear whether the participants knew that the system was controlled by the human operator or not.…”

Head-mounted displays and other wearable devices open up for innovative types of interaction for wearable augmented reality (AR). However, to design and evaluate these new types of AR user interfaces, it is essential to quickly simulate undeveloped components of the system and collect feedback from potential users early in the design process. One way of doing this is the wizard of Oz (WOZ) method. The basic idea behind WOZ is to create the illusion of a working system by having a human operator, performing some or all of the system’s functions. WozARd is a WOZ method developed for wearable AR interaction. The presented pilot study was an initial investigation of the capability of the WozARd method to simulate an AR city tour. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 21 participants performing a simulated AR city tour. The data analysis focused on seven categories that can have an impact on how the WozARd method is perceived by participants: precision, relevance, responsiveness, technical stability, visual fidelity, general user-experience, and human-operator performance. Overall, the results indicate that the participants perceived the simulated AR city tour as a relatively realistic experience despite a certain degree of technical instability and human-operator mistakes.

With the advent of modern mobile phones and tablet devices unprecedented opportunities arise to create rich user experiences that incorporate the context in which the interaction is situated. Sensors and other built-in technologies provide designers with a variety of possibilities for new and exciting applications. Since building such applications requires specialists there is an increasing demand for tools supporting people without programming skills to access, explore and design for the opportunities of mobile devices. In this paper we present a novel prototyping system named FamOz that combines the ease of paper prototyping with the efficiency of Wizard of Oz while exploiting the interactivity offered by new mobile devices. FamOz allows designers and researchers to evaluate mobile prototypes in situated realworld settings in an early stage of development.

Low-fidelity prototyping is an inexpensive and quick alternative for exploring different design solutions. And with Wizard of Oz experiments, one can present an interactive -yet unfinished -prototype to the final user, who can see how the system is planned to work. Combining low-fidelity prototyping with Wizard of Oz can be a low cost and time-efficient way to prototype both the user interface and the interaction. This would be particularly useful in the case of prototyping for multiple devices, since different solutions need to be developed and tailored to suit each device's characteristics. This proposal discusses plans for developing a tool to provide multi-device prototyping support through the incorporation of different abstraction levels and support for Wizard of Oz experiments.
