Abstract
The objective of this paper is to explore three different interaction methods in a confirmation task on a head-mounted Augmented Reality (AR) device with a population of children aged 9-11 years. The three interaction methods we look at are voice recognition, gesture recognition, and controller. We conducted a within-subjects study using a Fitts’ Law confirmation task performed by children with a Microsoft HoloLens. We measured elapsed time during the completion of the tasks. Also, we collected usability and fatigue measures using the System Usability Scale and the OMNI RPE (Ratings of Perceived Exertion) scale. We found significant differences between voice and controller for time, fatigue and usability. We also found significant differences between gesture and controller for time, fatigue and usability. We hope to apply the results of this study to improve augmented reality educational tools for children in the future.
