We are in the midst of a complete digital revolution. This perspective paper illustrates a point of view on the use of mixed reality (MR) in today’s enterprise environment, and covers-- virtual reality and augmented reality, market trends, industry examples, and challenges within organizations that are adopting mixed reality.

However, little research has been done on how virtual gaze cues combining spatial and temporal characteristics impact real-life physical tasks during face to face collaboration. In this study, we explore the effect of showing joint gaze interaction in an Augmented Reality (AR) interface by evaluating three bi-directional collaborative (BDC) gaze visualisations with three levels of gaze behaviours. Using three independent tasks, we found that all bi- directional collaborative BDC visualisations are rated significantly better at representing Edited by: joint attention and user intention compared to a non-collaborative (NC) condition, and Parinya Punpongsanon, hence are considered more engaging.

  • Natural Interaction in Augmented Reality Context
    Natural Interaction in Augmented Reality Context John Aliprantis1, Markos Konstantakis1, Rozalia Nikopoulou2, Phivos Mylonas2 and George Caridakis1 1 University of the Aegean, 81100 Mytilene, Greece {jalip, mkonstadakis, gcari}@aegean.gr 2 Ionian University 49100 Corfu, Greece [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. In recent years, immersive technologies like Virtual and Augmented Reality have been accelerating at an incredible pace, building innovative experiences and developing new interaction paradigms. Current research has widely explored gesture interaction with Augmented Reality interfaces, but usually requires users to manipulate input devices that could be cumbersome and obtrusive, thus preventing them from interacting efficiently with the 3D environment. Therefore, Natural User Interfaces and freehand gesture interaction are becoming more and more popular, improving the user’s engagement and sense of presence, providing more stimulating, user-friendly and non-obtrusive interaction methods. However, researchers argue about the impact of the interaction fidelity in usability and user satisfaction, questioning the level of naturalness that should characterize the interaction metaphors. Current paper proposes different gesture recognition techniques for three basic interaction categories (translation, rotation and scaling) in a Leap Motion Controller - Augmented Reality framework. A prototype is implemented in order to evaluate efficiency and usability of the proposed architecture. Finally, experimental results are discussed. Keywords: Natural interactionAugmented realityLeap motion controller Gesture recognition. 1 Introduction Over the last few years, Augmented Reality (AR) has developed into a cutting edge technology, providing new ways to interact with computer – generated information. By removing the boundaries between physical and virtual, AR has been able to create more engaging experiences, enhancing user’s enjoyment and satisfaction.

  • The Growing Demand for AR/VR in the Workplace
    The Growing Demand for AR/VR in the Workplace AR and VR applications in the workplace are benefiting businesses By Daniel Newman, Principal Analyst of Futurum Research Sponsored by Dell It started with Pokémon GO—a simple, yet ingenious app that enabled anyone to catch and train Pokémon in the "real" world—or at least the augmented reality (AR) world. Pokémon fans and nonfans alike scrambled to catch Pokémon, visiting local retailers and landmarks as they hunted. While Pokémon GO was by no means the world's first glance at AR, it brought AR to real, practical use. The app marked the rise of the AR app in the mainstream, and left users hungry for more. Now, increased demand for AR and virtual reality (VR) applications in the workplace is giving life to new ways to leverage this immersive technology to benefit businesses. Track the Move from Mobile to Goggle Just as we techies tracked the shift from desktop to mobile—mobile finally tipped the scale in 2014—we are also tracking the rate of "goggle" adoption. We've already witnessed an impressive move from desktop screen to goggles, headsets, and accessories in 2016—and new tools are burgeoning on the horizon. Virtualization engineers and designers are making the hardware more wearable in 2017 and beyond. Major brands such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Samsung, and GoPro are pouring funds into VR and AR applications (Apple, IBM, and Amazon projects are also in development), proving that virtualization isn't a passing trend or tech fad—it's here to stay. That's not to say goggles will replace mobile, or even replace the desktop.

  • Augmented Reality for Unity: the Artoolkit Package JM Vezien Jan
    Augmented reality for Unity: the ARToolkit package JM Vezien Jan 2016 ARToolkit provides an easy way to develop AR applications in Unity via the ARTookit package for Unity, available for download at: http://artoolkit.org/documentation/doku.php?id=6_Unity:unity_about The installation is covered in: http://artoolkit.org/documentation/doku.php?id=6_Unity:unity_getting_started Basically, you import the package via Assets--> Import Package--> custom Package Current version is 5.3.1 Once imported, the package provides assets in the ARToolkit5-Unity hierarchy. There is also an additional ARToolkit entry in the general menu of unity. A bunch of example scenes are available for trials in ARToolkit5-Unity-->Example scenes. The simplest is SimpleScene.unity, where a red cube is attached to a "Hiro" pattern, like the simpleTest example in the original ARToolkit tutorials. The way ARToolkit for Unity organises information is simple: • The mandatory component for ARToolkit is called a ARController. Aside from managing the camera parameters (for example, selecting the video input), it also records the complete list of markers your application will use, via ARMarker scripts (one per marker). • A "Scene Root" will contain everything you need to AR display. It is a standard (usually empty) object with a AR Origin script. the rest of the scene will be children of it. • The standard camera remains basically the same, but is now driven by a specific ARCamera script. By default, the camera is a video see-through (like a webcam). • Objects to be tracked are usually "empty" geomeries (GameObject--> Create empty) to which one attaches a special AR Tracked Object script.

Several interventions scenarios, however, require the physical presence of a human operator: Augmented Reality (AR), together with a broad-band connection, represents a major opportunity to integrate diagnostic data with real-time in-situ acquisitions. Diagnostic information can be shared with remote specialists that are able to monitor and guide maintenance operations from a control room as if they were in place. Furthermore, integrating heterogeneous sensors with AR visualization displays could largely improve operators’ safety in complex and dangerous industrial plants. In this paper, we present a complete setup for a remote assistive maintenance intervention based on 5G networking and tested at a Vodafone Base Transceiver Station (BTS) within the Vodafone 5G Program. Technicians’ safety was improved by means of a lightweight AR Head-Mounted Display (HDM) equipped with a thermal camera and a depth sensor to foresee possible collisions with hot surfaces and dangerous objects, by leveraging the processing power of remote computing paired with the low latency of 5G connection.

Smart glasses are already being used to improve quality, standardize workflows, accelerate decision making, and enhance communication in logistics, manufacturing, and maintenance operations throughout the supply chain. Of interest because: A trend in more universal, data-driven decision making is evolving just as leaps in hardware and software capability have led to smaller, more ergonomic devices. Could improve your supply chain by: Boosting labor effectiveness and productivity; reducing quality defects and rework; improving workflow standardization; enhancing workforce collaboration; improving safety. Why not? The technology is still rapidly evolving and has not yet reached operational maturity. Companies will have to understand how they will leverage data for critical use cases and should expect difficult integration challenges. Deloitte recommends: Evaluate the business case for smart glasses and augmented reality in your supply chain and pilot on a small number of critical use cases.
