“…One particular branch of research that emerged from glanceable displays is glanceable AR, where the focus is to convey glanceable information using augmented reality head-worn devices. 9,18–20 Feiyu Lu et al, for example, has been studying how people could interact with glanceable widgets 20 in AR, and how could that information be part of people’s daily routine. 9 Their results show promise, as people felt relatively positive about glanceable AR in general.…”

Incidental visualizations are meant to be seen at-a-glance, on-the-go, and during short exposure times. They will always appear side-by-side with an ongoing primary task while providing ancillary information relevant to those tasks. They differ from glanceable visualizations because looking at them is never their major focus, and they differ from ambient visualizations because they are not embedded in the environment, but appear when needed. However, unlike glanceable and ambient visualizations that have been studied in the past, incidental visualizations have yet to be explored in-depth. In particular, it is still not clear what is their impact on the users’ performance of primary tasks. Therefore, we conducted an empirical online between-subjects user study where participants had to play a maze game as their primary task. Their goal was to complete several mazes as quickly as possible to maximize their score. This game was chosen to be a cognitively demanding task, bound to be significantly affected if incidental visualizations have a meaningful impact. At the same time, they had to answer a question that appeared while playing, regarding the path followed so far. Then, for half the participants, an incidental visualization was shown for a short period while playing, containing information useful for answering the question. We analyzed various metrics to understand how the maze performance was impacted by the incidental visualization. Additionally, we aimed to understand if working memory would influence how the maze was played and how visualizations were perceived. We concluded that incidental visualizations of the type used in this study do not disrupt people while they played the maze as their primary task. Furthermore, our results strongly suggested that the information conveyed by the visualization improved their performance in answering the question. Finally, working memory had no impact on the participants’ results.

“…Similarly to VR, AR has proven to be a powerful tool for the realization of truthful experiences [18]. However, head-worn AR as a new medium is usually prone to usability issues inherent to the technology, inhibiting confusing interaction interfaces and Field of View (FoV) restrictions, especially when dealing with multimodal content [4], [10], [2].…”

As digitization has transformed media and Augmented Reality (AR) is evolving from a research area to a commodity, museums are creating interactive AR experiences to digitally enhance their collection and increase audience engagement. Head-worn AR experiences, though, face interaction challenges as they are often employed in busy spaces and are in need of intuitive multimodal interfaces for users on the move. This paper presents an innovative, workin-progress, multimodal AR experience integrating non-obtrusive dialogue, music, and sound as well as gesture and gaze-based interaction, while a user is wearing a head-worn AR display. Users are motivated to explore and interact with digital cultural artefacts superimposed onto the real-world museum setting and physical artefacts, while moving around in a museum setting. We initially analyze interactive AR experiences to identify specifc user requirements related to head-worn AR experiences. We deploy these requirements for the design of interactive, multimodal AR in a museum setting.

Real-time performance is critical for Augmented Reality (AR) systems as it directly affects responsiveness and enables the timely rendering of virtual content superimposed on real scenes. In this context, we present the DARLENE wearable AR system, analysing its specifications, overall architecture and core algorithmic components. DARLENE comprises AR glasses and a wearable computing node responsible for several time-critical computation tasks. These include computer vision modules developed for the real-time analysis of dynamic scenes supporting functionalities for instance segmentation, tracking and pose estimation. To meet real-time requirements in limited resources, concrete algorithmic adaptations and design choices are introduced. The proposed system further supports real-time video streaming and interconnection with external IoT nodes. To improve user experience, a novel approach is proposed for the adaptive rendering of AR content by considering the user’s stress level, the context of use and the environmental conditions for adjusting the level of presented information towards enhancing their situational awareness. Through extensive experiments, we evaluate the performance of individual components and end-to-end pipelines. As the proposed system targets time-critical security applications where it can be used to enhance police officers’ situational awareness, further experimental results involving end users are reported with respect to overall user experience, workload and evaluation of situational awareness.
