“…We aimed to create an illusion of functional prototype by bringing people to use the simulation in situ in the city center. De Sa and Churchill present how they have used different fidelity level prototypes in their mobile mixed reality research, reaching from paper prototype to an implemented high fidelity prototype [4]. With the exception of [4], earlier publications on MMR UX design have applied methods that are often disconnected from the context of use.…”

“…In addition to these augmented reality browsers, mobile mixed reality applications can utilize visual markers, as e.g. in [23], or image recognition without markers, as in Nokia Point & Find 4 . Although most of the mobile augmented reality applications utilize the screen as the output channel, also mobile device integrated pico projectors have been used for augmenting physical objects, see e.g.…”

Examples of mixed reality mobile applications and research combining virtual and real world data in the same view have emerged during recent years. However, currently there is little knowledge of users' perceptions comparing the role of virtual and real world representations in mobile user interfaces (UIs). In this paper, we investigate the initial user perceptions when comparing augmented reality and augmented virtuality UIs in a mobile application. To chart this, we conducted a field study with 35 participants, where they interacted with a simulated mobile mixed reality (MMR) application with two alternative UI designs, and an online survey completed by over a hundred people. Our findings reveal perceived differences e.g. in immersion, recognition, clarity and overall pleasantness, and provide insight to user interface design and methodological challenges of research in the area of mobile mixed reality.

“…De Sá and Churchill (2012) propose a MAR prototyping approach based on low, medium and high fidelity prototypes. Low fidelity would simply be a hollowed out smartphone with a rectangular see through hole, medium fidelity would be videos edited to contain AR like icons and objects played back on a device and high fidelity would be a simplified prototype MAR application.…”

Augmented Reality (AR) provides a fusion of the real and virtual worlds by superimposing virtual objects on real world scenery. The implementation of AR on mobile devices is known as Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR). MAR is in its infancy and MAR development software is in the process of maturing. Dating back to the origin of Computer Science as an independent field, software development tools have been an integral part of the process of software creation. MAR, being a relatively new technology, is still lacking such related software development tools. With the rapid progression of mobile devices, the development of MAR applications fusing advanced Computer Vision techniques with mobile device sensors have become increasingly feasible. However, testing and debugging of MAR applications present a new challenge in that they require the developer be at the location that is being augmented at some point during the development process. In this research study, a MAR recorder application was developed as well as emulation class libraries for Android devices that allows the recording and off-site playback of video, location and motion sensor data. The research objective was to provide a software emulator which provides debugging, testing and prototyping capabilities for a MAR application including the ability to emulate the combination of computer vision with locational and motion sensors using previously recorded data. The emulator was evaluated using different mobile technologies. The results indicate that this research could assist developers of MAR applications to implement applications more rapidly, without being at the location.

“…Estaúltima cualidad se plasma en la realidad tomando la forma de dispositivos móviles interconectados inalámbricamente que detectan el entorno que los rodea, gracias al uso de pequeños sensores que traen incorporados, desarrollando capacidades de procesamiento de información como de comunicación. En la actualidad la corriente principal (o mainstream) para dotar de ubicuidad a los sistemas informáticos es la utilización de la técnica denominada Realidad Aumentada (RA) [2]. Una aplicación de Realidad Aumentada usa y combina datos, presentaciones y funcionalidades procedentes de una o más fuentes, con el fin de enriquecer con más información al mundo físico del usuario y así permitirle tomar decisiones más certeras [3].…”

In this article, it is described the experience in the development of mobile Augmented Reality (AR) applications written in JAVA with the open source framework Look!AR. This work is the result of an articulation between a research project on a mobile application testbed and a course of the School of Computing, National University of La Plata (UNLP) in which the students obtain new skills in the development of software, taking under consideration issues such as the user-oriented-design, the mobility and the integration. Being that the utilization and development of innovative technologies are suitable elements to take into account in computer science degrees; modern technologies must be incorporated to portray the fundamental concepts and, in this way, to familiarize students with their future as a professional, as it is of great interest the students of computer science. It represents a challenge when it comes to develop software for platforms with peculiarities such as screen and hardware restrictions, and with new advantageous features like sensors of movement and temperature, GPS, and camera, for instance.Resumen-En este artículo se describe la experiencia en el desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles de Realidad Aumentada (RA) escritas en JAVA con el framework de código abierto Look!AR. Este trabajo es el resultado de una articulación entre un proyecto de investigación sobre un banco de pruebas de aplicaciones móviles y una asignatura de la Facultad de Informática de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) en la que los estudiantes obtienen nuevas habilidades en el desarrollo de software, tomando en consideración cuestiones tales como el diseño orientado al usuario, la movilidad y la integración. Siendo que la utilización y el desarrollo de tecnologías innovadoras son elementos adecuados a tener en cuenta en las carreras universitarias de informática; las tecnologías modernas se deben incorporar para describir los conceptos fundamentales y, en este sentido, familiarizar a los estudiantes con su futuro como profesional, dado que es de gran interés para los que cursan materias informáticas. Representando un desafío a la hora de desarrollar software para las plataformas con particularidades como la pantalla y restricciones de hardware, y con ventajosas nuevas características como sensores de movimiento y temperatura, GPS, y cámara, por ejemplo. I. INTRODUCCIÓNMark Weiser acuñó en 1988 el término "ubiquitous computing" ("computación ubicua") para referirse al proceso por el cual las computadoras se integran a la vida cotidiana del usuario y por ende al mundo físico. Para Weiser resultaba obvio que cada vez más tendemos hacia un ambiente de computación ubicuo y totalmente centralizado en el usuario, lo que implica una nueva forma de interactuar con los dispositivos [1]. La proliferación de las tecnologías de red Wireless, unido a la difusión de los dispositivos móviles como Smartphone y Tablets, permiten que la computación ubicua de Weiser sea ampliamente difundida y omnipresente. Estaúltima cualidad se plasma en ...
