Fig. 1: Demonstration of proximity and transition cues in an augmented reality city information system scenario. Being aware of newly emerging, yet potentially important information can become difficult in dynamic environments. Proximity cues (left side) provide spatial information in either the visual or the auditory modality and help users to become aware of out-of-view objects ("target"). When the target crosses the border of the field of view of the visual output device, the proximity cue is replaced by a transition cue (right side). A short visual, auditory or tactile notification signals the user that the target entered the field of view and is potentially visible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
