Augmented Reality Interface Design Approaches for Goal-directed and Stimulus-driven Driving Tasks

This study aims to learn the technique of Marker Based Tracking Augmented Reality which is implemented for Visualization of Anatomy of Human Body Organs. Augmented Reality Visualization Applications Anatomy of the Human Body Organ is built on the Android mobile platform device. In the analysis of the application interface design using the approach of User Center Design. Testing the application using Usability Test. Based on the results of implementation and testing, Marker Based AR technique successfully applied in making Visualization Applications Anatomy Human Body Organs on Android Platform. Applications use markers to display digital content 2D images of the brain, eyes, heart, and lungs. The results of the Usability Test show users can see organ anatomy information very clearly and users are very interested in using the applications created because it provides a different experience in learning.Keywords : Augmented Reality, Marker Based Tracking, Human Organs, User Center Design

Device Free

Virtual and augmented reality (VR, AR) systems present 3D images that users can interact with using controllers or gestures. The design of the user input process is crucial and determines the interactive efficiency, comfort, and adoption. Gesture-based input provides a device-free interaction that may improve safety and creativity compared to using a hand controller while allowing the hands to perform other tasks. Microgestures with small finger and hand motions may have an advantage over the larger forearm and upper arm gestures by reducing distraction, reducing fatigue, and increasing privacy during the interaction. The design of microgestures should consider user experience, ergonomic principles, and interface design to optimize productivity and comfort while minimizing errors. Forty VR/AR or smart device users evaluated a set of 33 microgestures, designed by ergonomists, and linked them to 20 common AR/VR commands based on usability, comfort, and preference. Based primarily on preference, a set of microgestures linked to specific commands is proposed for VR or AR systems. The proposed microgesture set will likely minimize fatigue and optimize usability. Furthermore, the methodology presented for selecting microgestures and assigning them to commands can be applied to the design of other gesture sets.

Computer Interaction

Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and other such immersive environments have gained popularity with the increase in technological trends in the past decade. As they became widely used, the human computer interface design and the designing criteria emerges as a challenging task. Virtual and Augmented Reality provide a wide range of applications ranging from a primitive level like improving learning, education experiences to complex industrial and medical operations. Virtual reality is a viable alternative that can be focussed on, in the future interface design development because it can remove existing generic and complex physical interfaces and replace them with an alternative sensory relayed input form. It provides a natural and efficient mode of interaction, that the users can work with.Virtual and Augmented reality eradicates the need for development of different acceptable standards for user interfaces as it can provide a whole and generic interface to accommodate the work setting.In this paper, we investigated various prospects of applications for user interaction in Virtual and Augemnted realities and the limitations in the respective domains. The paper provides an outline on how the new era of human computer interaction leading to cognition-based communications, and how Virtual and Augmented realities can tailor the user needs and address the future demands which replaces the need for command-based interaction between the humans and computers.
