“…The integration of AR and GIS has been developed and evaluated from a technical performance perspective using a custom-built platform [41][42][43] called the extended reality geographic information system (XR-GIS). The term extended reality (XR) encompasses virtual, augmented, and mixed reality systems [44].…”

Integrating Geographic Information Systems and Augmented Reality for Mapping Underground Utilities

Underground infrastructure is a critical component of the basic utility services provided to society. The single largest threat to the safety of underground utility lines is being struck by construction earthwork projects. One of the causes of this problem is miscommunication between utility owners and contractors. Therefore, it is vitally important to coordinate resources, share information, and ensure efficient communication between construction personnel and utility owners. Geographic information systems (GIS) provide a solution for interoperability in the construction industry. Applying such technologies in the field of underground construction requires accurate and up-to-date information. Augmented reality (AR) has been identified as a technique that could enhance information extraction from the virtual world to the real world and improve the access and utilization of information. However, there is currently limited research that has integrated AR and GIS and evaluated the effectiveness and usability of the combination in this domain. The main objective of this research was to develop an integrated AR-GIS for mapping and capturing underground utilities using a mobile device. The data are shared instantaneously with other stakeholders through a cloud-based system. In order to achieve these objectives, a design research approach was utilized to develop and evaluate a mobile extended-reality (XR-GIS) application. Validation of the XR-GIS was conducted through a focus group discussion and a questionnaire. The results revealed that 86% of the participants validated the system’s adaptivity to the underground construction. We can conclusively say that this research has produced an efficient solution for data collection and sharing among stakeholders in the underground construction industry.

“…Given this turn of events, eHERITAGE managed to influence social, economic and cultural environments at national and international levels, by participating in numerous events and by establishing new strategic partnerships with other research institutes or academic entities. One of the side activities of the project was to build several VR systems showcased during various events, such as: the EU Open Day (2018) in Brussels, Belgium; European Researchers' Night (2017 and2018) in Brașov, Romania;Creative Summer School (2016-2018 Thousands of people had the chance to test equipment running virtual heritage scenarios at these trade shows and expositions. We estimate that throughout the lifespan of the project, more than 20.000 people have discovered our work in cultural heritage.…”

The technological advances made in the recent years in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have led to a revolution in many adjacent areas. One of these is Cultural Heritage (CH), as the new array of XR technologies (a concept integrating Augmented, Mixed and Virtual Reality) is offering new interaction possibilities. The purpose of this paper is to compare several such technologies at application level, and to classify them based on common features such as Interaction, Manipulability, Ease of Use and others. The study presented in this paper was carried out during the H2020 project eHERITAGE ('Expanding the Research and Innovation Capacity in Cultural Heritage Virtual Reality Applications'). The action had as output multiple XR systems/applications. We compare 4 of them: a smartphone-based AR application, a digital book with 3D elements deployed on a large touchscreen, a large holographic display and a bow simulator built using a VR headset and a mechatronic system. We evaluate these innovative systems in the context of the 2 educational events, when over 4000 participants interacted with our team. Results show that systems with greater interaction and immersion features were preferred over the others. Furthermore, Mixed Reality was preferred over Virtual and Augmented Reality.

“…There are two types of mixed reality, that is, augmented reality (AR) and virtuality (AV), which are in the scope of interest of geographers and cartographers. A recent point of view, emphasizing rather the way people experience the physical and virtual environment, operates with the umbrella term extended reality (XR), encompassing virtual, augmented, and mixed reality [17].…”

“…[18] Roots of AR technologies adoption are seen in theories and concepts well-grounded in behavioral psychology, sociology, and the economy, including TAM (technology acceptance theory), UTAUT (unified theory of acceptance and use of technology), U&GT (uses and gratification theory), media richness theory, and social presence theory. The perceived benefits of XR technology based on different dimensions have been defined as (i) technology-specific, that is, utilitarian, hedonic, and social; (ii) fashion-specific, that is, impression management and wearable comfort; and (iii) media-specific, that is, sensual benefit, immersion, experienced realism, and virtual presence [17]. A systematic review of AR usability studies has been compiled by Dey et al [19].…”

Review of Implementation of Augmented Reality into the Georeferenced Analogue and Digital Maps and Images

Augmented reality (AR) combines information from databases with information derived directly through the human senses or different sensors. AR is the organic, real-time, and dynamically overlaying virtual images created by computers and other information on a real environment that the observer can see. Virtual information changes according to the movement of the observer, as if that virtual information truly exists in the real world. The convergence of geographic information systems (GIS), web mapping, mobile technology, and augmented reality (AR) implies the emergence of location based systems (LBS) and, in turn, the diminishing use of traditional analog maps by smartphone users. The focus and review of current achievements in this subject on the wider trends of the use of AR also prove that coding of some data and metadata on an image or a map (both in digital and analogue form) permits inter alia the inclusion of, for example, a paper map or analogue image into the chain of digital devices use. Some solutions, remarks, and comments concerning functioning of the digitally augmented (printed) map and their digital counterparts within the information society are presented.
