增强现实（AR）正日臻成熟，并出现在各种智能手机应用程序中。一种新兴的增强现实类型使用前置摄像头，并在用户脸上叠加数字特征，从而改变其外貌，让用户看起来像其他人，比如流行歌星或历史人物。然而，对于人们对这种代入角色的反应以及他们认为其有多逼真，我们知之甚少。我们开发了一款具有两种埃及风格的应用程序——MagicFace，它被设置在歌剧院和博物馆两个场景中。在第一种场景下，人们被邀请使用该应用程序，而在第二种场景下，他们在参观展览时自己偶然发现了它。我们的研究结果显示，在这些不同的情境中，人们接触和体验MagicFace的方式存在显著差异。我们讨论了这种增强现实技术的逼真度和吸引力，以及它对教育和文化环境的影响。
Augmented Reality (AR) is coming of age and appearing in various smartphone apps. One emerging AR type uses the front-facing camera and overlays a user's face with digital features that transform the physical appearance, making the user look like someone else, such as a popstar or a historical character. However, little is known about how people react to such stepping into character and how convincing they perceive it to be. We developed an app with two Egyptian looks, MagicFace, which was situated both in an opera house and a museum. In the first setting, people were invited to use the app, while in the second setting they came across it on their own when visiting the exhibition. Our findings show marked differences in how people approach and experience the MagicFace in these different contexts. We discuss how realistic and compelling this kind of AR technology is, as well as its implications for educational and cultural settings.
