“…It would also have to include transparency about what is real and what is augmented-without invalidating the pervasive AR experience as such. More research is needed on how to finesse the trade-off between AR realism and adequate transparency; subtle saliency modulations in a user's view can be very effective to this end [73].…”

Augmented reality (AR) glasses are likely to become omnipresent, providing a continuous and ubiquitous experience of computer-mediated reality. This new Pervasive AR will lead to perceptual, acceptance, and ethical issues which are increasingly discussed in the literature. However, given such Pervasive AR prototypes are currently not commercially available, little is known about potential end-users' input into this discussion. To address this, we developed a Pervasive AR (PAR) prototype serving as a technology probe and conducted an empirical study in a semi-public space involving 54 participants. We collected data from focus groups, questionnaires, and observations of users and bystanders. Extending concerns with existing technology, like smartphones and augmented reality, PAR exposes privacy and security breaches with its unprompted, all-seeing capability, has a higher potential to cause societal fractures and divisions, and raises new questions on information transparency and trust with significant implications for the design of future PAR systems.

“…Researchers have also investigated attention guidance by adding highly salient attention cues, such as flicker [WLMB * 14], or by using an additional modality to the visual content, such as audio [RHA17, XMWZ19]. In the field of mixed reality, where users are facing dynamic imagery by constantly changing their view, researchers have proposed attention guidance through luminance changes [BSM * 13], by target saliency manipulation of the image [SLP * 22], or by adding an artificially moving light cone [RHA17]. In contrast to these works, we assume that we have a highly complex scene, whose inherent motion we aim to selectively declutter to guide the user's attention to the remaining high‐frequency elements in the scene.…”

3D animations are an effective method to learn about complex dynamic phenomena, such as mesoscale biological processes. The animators' goals are to convey a sense of the scene's overall complexity while, at the same time, visually guiding the user through a story of subsequent events embedded in the chaotic environment. Animators use a variety of visual emphasis techniques to guide the observers' attention through the story, such as highlighting, halos – or by manipulating motion parameters of the scene. In this paper, we investigate the effect of smoothing the motion of contextual scene elements to attract attention to focus elements of the story exhibiting high‐frequency motion. We conducted a crowdsourced study with 108 participants observing short animations with two illustrative motion smoothing strategies: geometric smoothing through noise reduction of contextual motion trajectories and visual smoothing through motion blur of context items. We investigated the observers' ability to follow the story as well as the effect of the techniques on speed perception in a molecular scene. Our results show that moderate motion blur significantly improves users' ability to follow the story. Geometric motion smoothing is less effective but increases the visual appeal of the animation. However, both techniques also slow down the perceived speed of the animation. We discuss the implications of these results and derive design guidelines for animators of complex dynamic visualizations.
