Designing Augmented Reality Experiences, Mark Billinghurst

Description

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that allows the virtual overlay of images on the real world. Although the underlying technology is not new, it is only recently that compelling augmented reality experiences can be developed. This presentation discusses how to design effective augmented reality applications. The fundamental technologies needed are briefly discussed and then research on authoring tools, interaction techniques and evaluation methods presented. A set of design guidelines are given for researchers and developers in the field, and finally topics for future research. The presentation will draw on research at the HIT Lab NZ and other leading Augmented Reality research groups and companies. Examples will be discussed from desktop, mobile and wearable AR systems.
