Towards Pervasive Augmented Reality: Context-Awareness in Augmented Reality

Abstract

Augmented Reality is a technique that enables users to interact with their physical environment through the overlay of digital information. While being researched for decades, more recently, Augmented Reality moved out of the research labs and into the field. While most of the applications are used sporadically and for one particular task only, current and future scenarios will provide a continuous and multi-purpose user experience. Therefore, in this paper, we present the concept of Pervasive Augmented Reality, aiming to provide such an experience by sensing the user's current context and adapting the AR system based on the changing requirements and constraints. We present a taxonomy for Pervasive Augmented Reality and context-aware Augmented Reality, which classifies context sources and context targets relevant for implementing such a context-aware, continuous Augmented Reality experience. We further summarize existing approaches that contribute towards Pervasive Augmented Reality. Based our taxonomy and survey, we identify challenges for future research directions in Pervasive Augmented Reality.

Mobile IoT Interface using Emotion Information and Arduino on the Android Application

“…And the future information service is not just targeted at simply seeing and hearing [11][12][13]. Information service will be emotions-based, and its value will depend on communication with device by enabling the user to see, hear, touch, feel, and interact with the device.…”

Interface of mixed reality: from the past to the future

“…Applications for collaboration (Galambos et al 2015;Górski et al 2015), comparisons of interfaces between technologies (Omar and Nehdi 2016), human factor evaluation (Aromaa and Väänänen 2016), pervasive computing (Grubert et al 2017) (Fig. 7) techniques for a touchless MR interface (Brancati et al 2015) or omnidirectional videos (Yu and Lakshman 2015) also was the focus of research in recent years.…”

Augmented Reality : Reflections on its Contribution to Knowledge Formation

“…Experiences of both types should follow the same rules of presentation, or their basic phenomenologyshould have the same gram- Foracharacterization of AR as medium rather than at ype of technology itself see Craig (2013). Forasurvey of definitions see Billinghurst et al (2015) and Grubert et al (2016). The latter discuss conditions for pervasive Augmented Reality that would offer continuous experienceo f reality-registeredp resentations and be context-aware.…”
