User experience with alignment of real and virtual objects in a stereoscopic augmented reality interface
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reports two virtual pointer alignment experiments carried out using a stereoscopic augmented reality interface. The purpose was to evaluate users’ sensitivity to surface texture, target position at designated probe points on a cylinder real object surface, virtual pointer form and binocular disparity. The results confirmed the main findings from a previous study: that both surface texture and target position have significant influences. Subjective evaluation of virtual pointer form revealed that a three dimensional pointer is preferred over one and two-dimensional pointers. The contributions of size cue and resolution to binocular disparity effects are also discussed in relation to interface design issues for augmented reality applications.

The use of stereoscopy as a depth cue in current computer graphics technology is increasingly popular. On the other hand, in a Desktop Augmented Reality (AR) environment, a web cam and a set of printed markers allow the user to interact with an augmented view of the environment in the computer display. So, it seems a logical step for Desktop Augmented Reality systems to take advantage of the av...

متن کاملRendering Stereoscopic Augmented Reality Scenes with Occlusions using Depth from Stereo and Texture Mapping
Augmented Reality (AR) is commonly used in the construction industry to visualize proposed structures and/or operations in their real world environment as it greatly enhances the realism of the viewing experience without having to construct 3D models of complex real world scenes. In order to achieve convincing scenes in AR applications, the virtual objects should be correctly occluded by the re...
