“…Due to the speciality and professionality of IPT, some rising technologies are therefore harnessed for both experts and laymen to perform complex tomographic data analysis to improve their productivity and efficiency. Through augmented reality/mixed reality (AR/MR), a cutting-edge technique with high popularity during the past decades which superposes virtual objected into the real world Leebmann [2004], Liu11 et al [2018], Tainaka et al [2020], Zhang et al [2022a], it is possible to provide the digital information extracted from intricate tomographic data in the front view of users. As a representative human computer interaction technology, AR consolidates the interplay between digital objects and human subjects with much immersion based on powerful and interactive AR visualization modality Kalkofen et al [2008], Tonnis et al [2005], Pierdicca et al [2015], Zhang et al [2022b].…”

Industrial process tomography (IPT) is a specialized imaging technique widely used in industrial scenarios for process supervision and control. Today, augmented/mixed reality (AR/MR) is increasingly being adopted in many industrial occasions, even though there is still an obvious gap when it comes to IPT. To bridge this gap, we propose the first systematic AR approach using optical see-through (OST) head mounted displays (HMDs) with comparative evaluation for domain users towards IPT visualization analysis. The proof-of-concept was demonstrated by a within-subject user study (n=20) with counterbalancing design. Both qualitative and quantitative measurements were investigated. The results showed that our AR approach outperformed conventional settings for IPT data visualization analysis in bringing higher understandability, reduced task completion time, lower error rates for domain tasks, increased usability with enhanced user experience, and a better recommendation level. We summarize the findings and suggest future research directions for benefiting IPT users with AR/MR.

“…AR features the capacity to superimpose virtual context-related information onto the physical world in the form of graphics Piening et al [2021], , Zhang et al [2021b]. This technology is endorsed and applied in numerous fields due to its capability of providing real-time interaction, as well as generating interactive interfaces of visualized digital content Lee et al [2011], Nowak et al [2021], Zhang et al [2022a]. An emerging trend of AR is to deploy this technique to generate capability for conducting specific tasks.…”

See or Hear? Exploring the Effect of Visual and Audio Hints and Gaze-assisted Task Feedback for Visual Search Tasks in Augmented Reality

Augmented reality (AR) is emerging in visual search tasks for increasingly immersive interactions with virtual objects. We propose an AR approach providing visual and audio hints along with gazeassisted instant post-task feedback for search tasks based on mobile head-mounted display (HMD). The target case was a book-searching task, in which we aimed to explore the effect of the hints together with the task feedback with two hypotheses. H1: Since visual and audio hints can positively affect AR search tasks, the combination outperforms the individuals. H2: The gaze-assisted instant post-task feedback can positively affect AR search tasks. The proof-of-concept was demonstrated by an AR app in HMD and a comprehensive user study (n=96) consisting of two sub-studies, Study I (n=48) without task feedback and Study II (n=48) with task feedback. Following quantitative and qualitative analysis, our results partially verified H1 and completely verified H2, enabling us to conclude that the synthesis of visual and audio hints conditionally improves the AR visual search task efficiency when coupled with task feedback.

Despite the spread of augmented reality (AR) systems and its applications onto a number of various areas, the adoption of AR in industrial context is relatively limited. We decided to conduct an exploratory user study to define the eventual singularities that might be associated with the barriers for HMD AR technology adoption in the industrial settings, as recent works presented potential benefits of its applications with regard to specific 3D measurement data interpretation. The task-based study was designed to engage users with interaction of volumetric data of static and time series nature. We compared actions of users performed in lab vs. in situ conditions simulating real, process tomography measurement data visualisations for granular bulk solids flow in large containers. Study results revealed concrete directions for further work that might eventually enable wider adoption of HMD AR systems in the industrial context in terms of specific gestural interaction and visualisation techniques development.
