Step into the Bubble: A Novel, Augmented Reality (AR) User Interface

Abstract

The Bubble app enables an Augmented Reality (AR) user interface to be created as a hierarchy of interactable nested bubbles. It allows users to easily navigate, explore and interact with content and other information (i.e. text, images, videos, 3D models) in a manner naturally suited to mixed reality and AR worlds. The Bubble interface has broad applications. In its current form, we use it to display exhibits at the Penn Museum.
