Perceived Usability

In this paper, we have investigated the comparative usability among three different viewing configurations of augmented reality (AR) system that uses a desktop monitor instead of a head mounted display. In many cases, due to operational or cost reasons, the use of head mounted displays may not be viable. Such a configuration is bound to cause usability problems because of the mismatch in the user's proprioception, scale, hand eye coordination, and the reduced 3D depth perception. We asked a pool of subjects to carry out an object manipulation task in three different desktop AR set ups. We measured the subject's task performance and surveyed for the perceived usability and preference. Our results indicated that placing a fixed camera in the back of the user was the best option for convenience and attaching a camera on the user�s head for task performance. The results should provide a valuable guide for designing desktop augmented reality systems without head mounted displays

Interactive Experience

The article analyzes the use of augmented reality (AR) in creative projects of contemporary art. Features of application of augmented reality technologies are investigated. The author reviews the possibilities and options for using augmented reality technology to support museums and galleries. This article will help contemporary artists to better understand these technologies, understand the role of AR in modern society and assess its prospects. Analysis of scientific research has shown that the use of augmented reality in art is increasingly of interest to artists and scientists. There are also articles dedicated to improving the learning experience of art gallery visitors using augmented reality. The present study reveals the chronology of research on this phenomenon. An analysis of the experience of Ukrainian, European and American artists and designers in the implementation of AR‑technologies in the field of culture has also been conducted, on the basis of which a system of thematic areas of augmented reality in contemporary art has been presented. There are five areas where augmented reality in the field of art is used. These are museums of history and art and exhibition halls, art city tourism, film industry, concerts and television. But it turns out that the number of these areas is not final. Eventually, AR will be used in other art venues. The materials of this article provide recommendations for the spread of augmented reality technologies in art. With the help of these technologies, the image of an innovative progressive museum and exhibition hall, open to new opportunities, can be created, which gives the opportunity to attract new visitors, generating a unique complex interactive experience. So far, augmented reality is used exclusively in art, but more and more artists and designers are beginning to move towards interactive implementations in their work. Many of these authorial experiments grow into unique creative projects and provide enormous advantages in the system of culture and art.

Educational Potential

This paper builds on the emerging body of research aimed at exploring the educational potential of mobile technologies, specifically, how to leverage place-based, augmented reality mobile games for language learning. Mentira is the first place-based, augmented reality mobile game for learning Spanish in a local neighborhood in the Southwestern United States. This paper explores both the complexities and benefits of integrating mobile games in second and foreign language learning contexts. Relevant background issues are discussed and the Mentira project is described, including an exploration of the setting, narrative, gameplay, and curriculum. Initial findings and future goals are explored. Gameplay, the importance of ’place’ for language learning, is discussed and the role of student buy-in. The paper concludes with future considerations for the continued use of mobile games projects for language learning as well as other disciplines.

Before And After

The research and development of an augmented reality (AR) application for Vancouver-based dance company Small Stage challenged a team of students at a graduate digital media program to understand how AR might reinvent the audience-dancer relationship. This chapter will chronicle the AR and choreographic development process that occurred simultaneously. Based on the documentation of that process, a number of insights emerged that dance creators and AR developers may find useful when developing an AR experience as counterpart to a live dance production. These include (1) understanding the role of technology to support or disrupt the traditional use of a proscenium-based stage, (2) describing how AR can be used to augment an audience's experience of dance, (3) integrating a motion capture pipeline to accelerate AR development to support the before and after experience of a public dance production.
