Usability Engineering for User Interface Concepts of Augmented Reality Systems
Augmented Reality (AR) is a new technology that allows to overlay the users field of view with additional virtual information. Besides from the technically oriented development the user centred system design is an essential part in the project ARVIKA which is supported by German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). This contribution describes the approach of usability engineering in ARVIKA as well as first results of the AR user interfaces´ evaluation phase.
The evaluation has shown huge potentials for the practical use of AR systems. It has also shown an inability of present-day well known interaction concepts for desktop PCs concerning AR and the necessity to reconsider and reengineer them. In this article solutions will be discussed as a basis for further developments in the second project phase from a user centred point of view.
