Using augmented reality for visualizing complex graphs in three dimensions

Abstract

In this paper we explore the effect of using Augmented

Evaluation of mixed-space collaboration

“…On that, we think that a mixed-space collaboration can be an interesting choice in the case of multiple users co-located in a real environment interacting with other users immersed on VR environment or for keeping a seamless transition with real content (books, maps, mockup, etc.). But interesting results during our experiment of the manipulation of the marker to changing its viewpoint (and previous one of [2]) shows a potential usage of a AR for natural navigation/viewpoint control.…”

“…There was a significant effect of condition on time to completion, as indicated by a one-way ANOVA with repeated measures (F (2,8) = 64.58, p <0.001). As can be seen in Figure 7, there was a large difference between the Alone condition and the other conditions.…”

“…The performance measures gauged the effectiveness of the interaction and we used time of completion, length of path traveled by the user, path error 2 and participants head movement/velocity of subjects. For the qualitative subjective evaluation, we used a survey questionnaire (similar to [24], see Appendix 1) during the experience to evaluate the awareness, ease of communication and the task realization.…”

The Hologram in My Hand: How Effective is Interactive Exploration of 3D Visualizations in Immersive Tangible Augmented Reality?

“…Consequently, research in augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) and HCI has contributed a variety of studies and techniques targeting 3D visualization and interaction. These studies have reported many insights in the respective conditions, suggesting general benefits of novel technologies (e.g., [10,34,63]). However, for visualization the question remains how efficient is direct tangible interaction with virtual 3D holograms in the real world?…”

Interaction and presentation techniques for shake menus in tangible augmented reality

“…First, there is evidence that providing a tangible anchor or prop increases the sense of presence of virtual objects [15], enhances the perception of realism of the virtual experience [24], and increases visual understanding of information through manipulation [2]. While we recognize that tangible AR is not appropriate for all situations, these benefits have been observed in other research in which users can physically manipulate a physical object that represents a virtual object [36].…”
