Conceptualizing Interactions of Augmented Reality Solutions

Abstract

The rapid evolution of augmented reality has resulted in an ever-increasing number of applications in a wide range of industries and services. Despite this progress, there is still a lack of conceptual understanding of AR interactions and the entire solution space. To bridge this gap, we conceptualize AR solution interactions and provide a comprehensive taxonomy. To represent the state-of-the-art, we build upon an extensive literature review. The resulting taxonomy consists of seven dimensions that encompass 29 characteristics. We contribute to the understanding of AR interactions and, as a result, the applicability of AR solutions in businesses by developing the taxonomy. Likewise, the taxonomy can guide the design of AR solutions as it convincingly describes the solution space.

An Overview of Ten Years of Augmented Reality Smart Glasses in Education

“…However, viewing AR through mobile device screens is not as immersive and interactive (Holdack et al, 2022). ARSG are a new technology that incorporates a screen or projection system that displays digital information in the user's field of view (Bräker & Semmann, 2023). The glasses use sensors and cameras to track the movement of the wearer and the environment around them, creating a digital extension of the real world.…”

“…Thus, the current prototype could be extended to let users customize their view, switch on and off data layers or save the position of discovered obstacles. As a preliminary work, we already aimed to classify AR interactions (Bräker et al, 2022;. The following steps would be investigating use cases and appropriate interaction techniques accordingly.…”

Is There More Than Pokémon Go? – Exploring the State of Research on Causal Modeling in the Field of Augmented Reality

“…In organizational contexts, research concentrates, for example, on AR use in technical services (Niemöller et al, 2019), infrastructure services (Osterbrink et al, 2021), logistics (Rauschnabel & Ro, 2016), and healthcare (Klinker et al, 2019). Other research systematizes interactions within AR (Bräker et al, 2022;Hertel et al, 2021). Conceptualizations that seek to explore a multitude of aspects related to AR, its use and applicability, and niche aspects like privacy (Rauschnabel et al, 2018) can also be found.…”
