AUGMENTED REALITY DESIGN HEURISTICS: DESIGNING FOR DYNAMIC INTERACTIONS

摘要

Augmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a rapidly developing technology, capable of a wide scope ofrnapplications across a variety of domains. AR technologies allow for a virtual experience to be overlaid onrntop of a physical environment, creating a hybrid experience in which virtual objects become a part of thernuser's perceptual and physical environment. Rapid progression of the AR field requires that effective andrnvalidated methods of design evaluation be developed. Failure to consider the usability of AR applicationsrnduring the design process will result in an increase in user errors and accidents, limiting user trust of therntechnology and undermining user perceptions of the technology, for both AR and Virtual Reality (VR)rntechnologies (Nordrum, 2016). Through a robust and iterative process, a set of Design Heuristics for ARrnwere developed for multidimensional augmented environments with the aim of advancing AR designrnmethods for human factors, ergonomics, and user experience practitioners within the expanding ARrncommunity.
