abstract = {The most common learning materials for handcraft today are videos and figures, which are limited in their ability to express embodied knowledge as an in-person tutor could. We developed WeavAR, an application for headworn augmented reality (AR) displays designed to teach basic bead weaving patterns. WeavAR combines virtual 3D hands showing weaving sequences recorded from an experienced bead weaver and a dynamic 3D bead model showing how the work progresses. Using a mixed within/between-subjects user study (n=30), we compared learning materials (AR to videos and figures) and learning material placement (in the area of work or to the side). Results show that the AR learning materials had comparable effectiveness to video and figures. Hand visualizations were found to lack crucial context, however, making them less useful than the 3D bead model. Extra measures to prevent obstruction are required when placing learning materials at the area of work.},

abstract = {Immersive locative augmented reality (AR) provides rich storytelling possibilities. When authors place content in a locative AR narrative, they need to consider the relationships between the environment, the player's perspective, and the story events. This becomes more challenging and time-consuming when designing for multiple and/or unknown locations. We present Story CreatAR, a locative authoring tool that uses spatial analysis techniques to facilitate multi-site deployment. Story CreatAR was iteratively designed to help authors consider, test, and adjust spatial relationships in their story. We evaluated Story CreatAR in several ways: authors used Story CreatAR with a graph representation of their story and with a script, and developers did the same. Through a thematic analysis of user comments and behaviour we find that authors had difficulty understanding spatial analysis concepts and thinking in the abstract about placement across multiple sites. However, Story CreatAR encouraged authors to consider how the physical environment impacts their stories, and authors desired additional spatial analysis features.},

abstract = {With the rapidly growing interest in AR, grows the motivation to overcome some of the problems facing the implementations of the technology. The main challenge encountered in the building of large-scale mixed reality AR games is the uniqueness of the spatial settings in which the game will be experienced by the user. Game designers will require data of the spatial settings to determine game object placement, events and narrative flow. The problem arises because the designers are not aware of the physical environment in which the game will be played. In our research, we address this problem and take an approach to solving it by using Space Syntax techniques. We demonstrate the use of this technique, using a proof-of-concept game called Adventure AR.},

abstract = {Museums are constantly searching for new ways to increase engagement with their exhibits, from electronic guides to modern digital technologies such as special-purpose tablets, smartphones, and virtual and augmented reality (AR). For AR exhibits in particular, promoting shared experience and group cohesion is not straight-forward. In this work, we investigate scenarios in which not everyone is using a head-worn display (HWD), either because there aren’t enough available or simply because someone might feel uncomfortable using it.We propose three sharing techniques for AR experiences and evaluate them in a long term in-the-wild study: Over-the-Shoulder AR, which renders a real-time virtual representation of the augmented reality content on a large secondary display; Semantic Linking, which displays contextual information about the virtual content on the same large display; and Indicator Rings, which display the locations of the HWD user’s objects-of-focus. We observed that participants in theOver-the-Shoulder AR and Semantic Linking conditions stayed together and exhibited more verbal exchanges than participants in a Baseline condition, which could indicate that they were more engaged. Self-reported measures indicated an increase in pair communication and increased comprehension of the virtual content for participants without the HWD. Participants without the HWD also displayed a greater understanding of the location of virtual elements with support from theIndicator Rings, and used them as a tool to guide the HWD user through the virtual content. We discuss design implications for interactive augmented reality exhibits and possible applications outside the cultural heritage scenario.},
