“…Indeed, such parameters cannot be controlled in real conditions with an AR device. These parameters are classified by Tiefenbacher et al (2014) into three categories: rendering, interaction, and tracking. Controlling these parameters in VR can also be used to simulate a "perfect" AR device that does not exist yet.…”

Validating an augmented reality application in a virtual reality simulation can offer many advantages compared to testing in real conditions and can speed up development processes. With such a simulation, developers and designers do not need to have constant physical access to the real place. They can save physical navigation, experiment with different kinds of devices and isolate testing parameters. While the validity of functional testing in virtual reality simulations is not particularly challenged, the validity of such simulations to evaluate user experience and usability, similarly as in real conditions, still needs to be assessed. We then conducted a user study to explore the validity of evaluating these criteria with a virtual reality simulation tool and the importance of simulation fidelity for that purpose. Indeed, we also seek to determine whether it is necessary to simulate the limited field of view of augmented reality glasses and if the simulation can take place in a virtual world that is not a replica of the real targeted environment. To do so, we have developed an augmented reality application for smart-homes where a user can interact with different connected objects. One group of users performed the experiment in the real place with augmented reality glasses and three other groups performed the same experiment in virtual reality with various simulation conditions (field of view and environment). Users’ subjective feedback and quantitative results only highlight very few differences between real-world conditions and simulation in virtual reality, whatever the simulation parameters used. These results suggest the interest in using virtual reality simulation to evaluate an augmented reality application but should be confirmed on other use cases and interaction tasks.

Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) is state-of-the-art technology that has modernized the way of accessing and interacting with information thus invoking new experiences for users all around the world. However User Experience (UX) evaluation for mobile AR is still a widely unexplored area. In order to identify the potential problems faced by the end users while using MAR applications, it is important to evaluate the UX of current Mobile AR service. This paper narrates the findings and analysis from a pilot study. We report a cross-sectional survey for evaluating the user experience of latest mobile AR applications. A framework of qualities related to user experience is applied on the acquired results to understand and articulate different aspects of UX. The outcomes show a positive attitude of users towards mobile AR services. The results help in considering key acceptance issues and potential user expectations in the development of future mobile AR services.

“…However, within the context of industrial application, there is only a part for AR. It is mainly because the industrial setting is greatly challenging and complex (Tiefenbacher, Lehment, & Rigoll, 2014). To achieve better success, the key factor is user acceptance (Syberfeldt et al, 2015).…”

This research utilized Augmented Reality (AR) technology along with interactive multimedia applications to improve visual guidance and assist nonexpert users in assembling furniture. Rather than paperbased or video instructions, AR enhanced learning and manipulative-interactive approach. This research used the Waterfall model for development. It was divided into a couple of stages. It consisted of specifying the problem and requirements, designing the system, implementing and integrating it, and testing the system. Identifying problems and requirements was conducted through an online questionnaire and related works study. The graphics tool used was 3D Studio Max. Unity3d was used to develop the system with the software library from Qualcomm’s Vuforia for the AR implementation. The results show the mobile application called ARsembly. It serves as the early stage of concept model as it only assists the simple assembly. Through system testing performed by both researchers and end-users, ARsembly is proven to be useful and helpful in learning and performing furniture assembly.
