Layar-ed places: Using mobile augmented reality to tactically reengage, reproduce, and reappropriate public space

Abstract: As augmented reality (AR) is becoming technologically possible and publicly available through mobile smartphone and tablet devices, there has been relatively little empirical research studying how people are utilizing mobile AR technologies and forming social practices around mobile AR. This study looks at how mobile AR can potentially mediate the everyday practices of urban life. Through qualitative interviews with users of Layar, a mobile AR browser, we found several emerging uses. First, users are creating … Show more

“…Mobile augmented reality technology provides great potential to everyday life around the community. Through the use of MAR, users can create up to download content such as location information restorant, apartments and physical conditions in the environment around them [5]. Moreover, several studies in the implementation of AR have been carried out, such as Kourouthanassis, et.al, have presented that mobile augmented reality (MAR) travel guide, named CorfuAR for supporting mobile tourism applications at the principal city of Corfu island in Greece.…”

“…Academic inquiry of a predominantly technical nature has hitherto dominated the research agenda of AR. As a result, demonstrating an increasing presence within the sphere of the mass market, AR remains a largely extraneous phenomenon to academic fields outside of those concerned primarily by its technical development (Liao and Humphreys, 2014). The paper thus aims to bridge the chasm between the technical and the social science contexts of AR.…”

“…Pavlik and Bridges (2013) have explored the potential for storytelling through AR to transform and revitalize existing media industries such as print journalism. Liao and Humphreys (2014) have focused on the content creation possibilities of AR browsers, and how those creations might alter user's experiences and understandings of a particular space. Other scholars have focused on the locational gaming narrative possibilities (Chess, 2014), user experience with AR (Hofmann & Mosemghvdlishvili, 2014;Olsson & Salo, 2011), the content of AR and the replication of particular media forms (Tinell, 2014), and the potential for polyesthetic interaction with AR systems that engage with multiple sensory modalities (Bolter, Engberg, & MacIntyre, 2013).…”
