Validating the Benefits of Glanceable and Context-Aware Augmented Reality for Everyday Information Access Tasks

MineXR: Mining Personalized Extended Reality Interfaces

“…Users frequently leverage widgets such as clocks or weather as ambient information displays, which should be reflected in any XR layout. This helped P7, for example, to "not have to switch between apps" and "get information from them at a glance without breaking my main task focus", which supports the Glanceable AR paradigm explored in prior art [9,56,57]. Our dataset informs the design for ambient, glanceable interface with grounded data on what widgets were utilized for the ambient use and how they were composed in a layout.…”

“…Another line of research investigates the interaction behaviors with different layouts of XR user interfaces. Lu et al [56,57] and Davari et al [9] evaluated the Glanceable AR paradigm for accessing information in AR HMDs, in which secondary information resides at the periphery of vision, staying unobtrusive yet accessible through a quick glance.…”

“…Our dataset complements current approaches for gathering data in XR scenarios that rely on presenting users with predetermined applications [9,57]. As participants created individualized XR layouts using their personal digital content, our collected data better reflects their realistic preferences and requirements for layouts.…”
