Exploring augmented reality visualizations
Antti Aaltonen (Nokia (Finland)), Juha Lehikoinen (Nokia (Finland))
Abstract: Augmented Reality (AR) enhances our perception of reality by overlaying a digital creation on real world. AR information is often considered visual and most of it is associated with real world objects. This poses several challenges in, e. g., aligning the real and virtual worlds. Another essential -- yet not widely studied -- aspect is a more theoretical treatment of AR visualization. In this paper, we take the first steps towards understanding AR visualizations in more detail. We study existing AR visualizations based on well-known visualization techniques Zoom and Pan; Overview and Detail; and Focus+Context, and use these techniques to characterize AR visualizations in general. We claim that our approach covers the majority of visualization schemes applicable to AR, and is a useful method for understanding the fundamentals of AR visualizations in general.
