“…We also learned from prior work around technology supporting aquatic recreation. These prior works mostly highlight that water is a difcult medium to design for because it often requires waterproofng electronics [10,20,55,102]. Therefore, interactive technologies can be seen as antagonistic to aquatic environments based on the high electrical conductivity of impurities in water [62].…”

“…Tracking technologies assess the user's movements through inertial sensors [3, 22, 23, 38, 47, 52-54, 98, 102, 110], pressure sensors [55], RFID tags [15], GPS [104], cameras [112], and computer vision technology [42,49,60,67,92,124,135]. Robotic systems explore human-robot interaction in recreational settings [88,98,124], while XR includes augmented [9,10,12,14,20,21,49,60,93,94,135] and virtual reality applications [26,102] that also feature tracking, but focus on the user's perspective rather than body movements. These systems are used within aquatic recreation at various points across a span of four decades (the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s), which we detail next.…”

Aquatic recreation encompasses a variety of water-based activities from which participants gain physical, mental, and social benefts. Although interactive technologies for supporting aquatic recreation activities have increased in recent years, the HCI community does not yet have a structured understanding of approaches to interaction design for aquatic recreation. To contribute towards such an understanding, we present the results of a systematic review of 48 papers on the design of interactive technology for aquatic recreation, drawn from the ACM, IEEE, and SPORTDiscus libraries. This review presents an aquatic recreation user experience framework that details problems and opportunities concerning water and HCI. Our framework brings us closer to understanding how technology can interact with users and the aquatic environment to enhance the existing recreational experiences that connect us to aquatic environments. We found that designers can elicit delight, enablement, challenge, and synergy in aquatic recreation experiences.

“…This type of device is based on a VST approach by overlaying a camera-mediated view of reality with digital information. Most AR domain applications rely on these vision tools [20,43,45], which allow a collaborative approach and application in particular contexts, such as underwater [87].…”

AR in the Architecture Domain: State of the Art

Augmented reality (AR) allows the real and digital worlds to converge and overlap in a new way of observation and understanding. The architectural field can significantly benefit from AR applications, due to their systemic complexity in terms of knowledge and process management. Global interest and many research challenges are focused on this field, thanks to the conjunction of technological and algorithmic developments from one side, and the massive digitization of built data. A significant quantity of research in the AEC and educational fields describes this state of the art. Moreover, it is a very fragmented domain, in which specific advances or case studies are often described without considering the complexity of the whole development process. The article illustrates the entire AR pipeline development in architecture, from the conceptual phase to its application, highlighting each step’s specific aspects. This storytelling aims to provide a general overview to a non-expert, deepening the topic and stimulating a democratization process. The aware and extended use of AR in multiple areas of application can lead a new way forward for environmental understanding, bridging the gap between real and virtual space in an innovative perception of architecture.

“…Today, virtual (VR), augmented (AR), and mixed-reality (MR) technologies can be found in many different applications including education, exhibition enhancement, exploration, reconstruction, and virtual museums (Bekele et al, 2018). VR technologies have been widely investigated as a means to improve public awareness about underwater CH (Chapman et al, 2010), (Bruno et al, 2017), (Bruno et al, 2019), (Cejka et al, 2020), (Cejka et al, 2021). Here we explore the use of advanced visualization methods for a three-fold aim: (i) to communicate and share the virtualized site with the project's partners and interested parties; (ii) to collect all the meaningful information (knowledge) about the site and its assets; (iii) to monitor the excavation process maintaining an updated knowledge system on the basis of surveys carried out over time.…”

Abstract. Cultural Heritage (CH) resources are partial, heterogeneous, discontinuous, and subject to ongoing updates and revisions. The use of semantic web technologies associated with 3D graphical tools is proposed to improve access, exploration, exploitation and enrichment of these CH data in a standardized and more structured form. This article presents the monitoring work developed for more than ten years on the excavation of the Xlendi site. Around an exceptional shipwreck, the oldest from the Archaic period in the Western Mediterranean, we have set up a unique excavation at a depth of 110m assisted by a rigorous and continuous photogrammetry campaign. All the collected results are modelled by an ontology and visualized with virtual and augmented reality tools that allow a bidirectional link between the proposed graphical representations and the non-graphical archaeological data. It is also important to highlight the development of an innovative 3D mobile app that lets users study and understand the site as well as experience sensations close to those of a diver visiting the site.
