Inconsistencies in Augmented Reality Systems

Researchers: Seokhee Jeon and Gerard J. Kim

One of our research thrusts is the evaluation of various aspects of VR/AR/MR interfaces. There are many cases where the interfaces and the corresponding interaction objects do not match in aspects such as interaction timing, view/interaction direction, and multimodal feedback — often due to lack of technology, inappropriate metaphor, or missing modality. In addition to evaluations, we seek computational solutions to improve these situations, such as assessing usability with regards to camera placement in a desktop AR setting and applying image warping or mosaicing techniques to allow cameras to be placed at user-convenient locations.
