“…Foot-based gestures are a simple way to interact with devices with limited degrees of freedom. Even though at first glance, foot movements are slower than comparable arm movements [33], Garcia et al [21] suggested that this may be due to a lack of training with foot-based gestures. Foot-based techniques are always-available gestures which can be used in a wide variety of contexts, while seated [94,104], standing [66,88], and walking/running [119], specially for highly demanding tasks [6].…”

Augmented Reality (AR) headsets could significantly improve the passenger experience, freeing users from the restrictions of physical smartphones, tablets and seatback displays. However, the confined space of public transport and the varying proximity to other passengers may restrict what interaction techniques are deemed socially acceptable for AR users - particularly considering current reliance on mid-air interactions in consumer headsets. We contribute and utilize a novel approach to social acceptability video surveys, employing mixed reality composited videos to present a real user performing interactions across different virtual transport environments. This approach allows for controlled evaluation of perceived social acceptability whilst freeing researchers to present interactions in any simulated context. Our resulting survey (N=131) explores the social comfort of body, device, and environment-based interactions across seven transit seating arrangements. We reflect on the advantages of discreet inputs over mid-air and the unique challenges of face-to-face seating for passenger AR.
