A Spatial Informance Design Method to Elicit Early Interface Prototypes for Augmented Reality

Abstract Designing for augmented reality (AR) applications is difficult and expensive. A rapid system the early design process of spatial interfaces required. Previous research has used video mobile AR design, but this not extensible to head-mounted AR. an emergent technology with no prior precedent, requiring designers allow free speculation or risk pitfalls ‘path dependence’. In paper, a participatory elicitation method we call ‘spatial informance design’ presented. We found combining ‘informance design’, ‘Wizard Oz’, improvisation, ‘paper prototyping’, be fast lightweight solution ideation rich designs interfaces. study using our 11 participants, produced similar wildly different interface configurations interactions email application. Based on findings propose implications evaluation applications.
