Abstract
Spatial computing in augmented reality (AR) overlays digital information into users’ view or immediate physical space, enhancing how we interact with our surroundings. It holds promise for pedestrian navigation, whether it is safety-critical or requires multi-tasking and real-time spatial information processing. Our systematic review of 79 articles delves into AR pedestrian navigation, covering device types, tracking methods, information taxonomy, and an evaluation of both technical and human factors. We highlight trends and future research directions, aiming to guide researchers and practitioners in identifying suitable techniques and designs that serve their applications and spurring innovation in adaptable systems and design concepts.
期刊介绍:
ACM Computing Surveys is an academic journal that focuses on publishing surveys and tutorials on various areas of computing research and practice. The journal aims to provide comprehensive and easily understandable articles that guide readers through the literature and help them understand topics outside their specialties. In terms of impact, CSUR has a high reputation with a 2022 Impact Factor of 16.6. It is ranked 3rd out of 111 journals in the field of Computer Science Theory & Methods.
ACM Computing Surveys is indexed and abstracted in various services, including AI2 Semantic Scholar, Baidu, Clarivate/ISI: JCR, CNKI, DeepDyve, DTU, EBSCO: EDS/HOST, and IET Inspec, among others.
