Abstract

Current Mobile Augmented Reality (AR) browsers do not reflect users' immediate contexts and lack support for contextual interaction. Such limitations turn users away from the experience, even those who are genuinely interested in the technology. Mobile AR needs a serious move towards a better experience driven by user generated content. This paper discusses InterAKT, a mobile augmented reality browser that extends existing crowd sourced geo-tagged data while enabling in-situ content creation. Bringing such capabilities together in a lightweight solution introduces many challenges on the architectural and the user interface level. InterAKT is designed to enhance content display, navigation and interaction for mobile AR users, while enabling them to create their own AR experiences. In this paper, we discuss how InterAKT was designed to overcome the challenges for mobile augmented reality, such as noisy sensor data, limited display and the lack of relevant content. We discuss the results of an initial evaluation conducted remotely with users in different countries. The results show success in engaging users in mobile AR using crowd sourced content.

InterAKT:用于地理社交混搭的移动增强现实浏览器

当前的移动增强现实(AR)浏览器不能反映用户的即时上下文，并且缺乏对上下文交互的支持。这样的限制会让用户远离这种体验，即使是那些真正对这项技术感兴趣的人。移动增强现实需要朝着由用户生成内容驱动的更好体验的方向迈进。本文讨论了InterAKT，这是一种移动增强现实浏览器，可扩展现有的众包地理标记数据，同时支持原位内容创建。在轻量级解决方案中整合这些功能会在体系结构和用户界面级别上引入许多挑战。InterAKT旨在增强移动AR用户的内容显示、导航和交互，同时使他们能够创建自己的AR体验。在本文中，我们讨论了如何设计InterAKT来克服移动增强现实的挑战，如噪声传感器数据，有限的显示和缺乏相关内容。我们讨论了与不同国家的用户远程进行的初步评估的结果。结果显示，使用众包内容在吸引移动AR用户方面取得了成功。
