This project will develop a systematic process of mapping Augmented Reality information organization to the human brain's prodigious capacity for spatial cognition. Fundamental to human thinking and utilizing much of the brain's resources is spatial cognition: a matrix for mental imagery manipulation, mathematical reasoning, spatial mental models of time, certain aspects of language organization, and memory organization. A neuropsychological human factors route to AR interface design may produce a solid basis for systematic theory, research, and guidelines for the design of mobile, AR interfaces. To accomplish this the research will: (1) extend neurological and behavioral research on human spatial cognition to systematically map egocentric (i.e., body centered) spatial perception and object manipulation in AR systems; (2) add new capabilities to the METLAB's ImageTclAR toolkit in support of this project and spatial AR interface design, and (3) develop multi-user mobile AR prototypes with both body and environmentally stabilized components using new hybrid tracking techniques based on visual tracking and ShapeTape sensors. It will also systematically conduct Human Computer Interaction experiments to evaluate and confirm the effect of new Mobile Infospaces interface techniques on: information object search and perception, tool and data object semantics, ease of object manipulation and procedural performance, memory for the location and properties of data tools and objects, group navigation, situational awareness, and cognitive maps of the environment. Finally, the project will organize and systematize findings and interface design experience into Mobile Infospaces AR Design Guidelines.The new models and methods developed for AR system design will impact mobile AR research and development in two main ways. For research, it will provide a empirically validated theoretical foundation for augmented reality design using a neuropsychological and behaviorally valid human factors model of spatial cognition in information displays. For interface design, it will provide information display guidelines and ImageTclAR interface development tools that can establish parameters for optimizing the placement of tools, organization of menus and data, and clustering of procedures for mobile, augmented-reality and immersive virtual reality users.

该项目将开发一个系统的过程，将增强现实信息组织映射到人类大脑巨大的空间认知能力。空间认知是人类思维的基础，也是利用大脑资源的基础：它是一个矩阵，用于处理心理意象、数学推理、时间的空间心理模型、语言组织的某些方面和记忆组织。AR界面设计的神经心理学人为因素路线可以为移动的AR界面的设计的系统理论、研究和指南产生坚实的基础。为了实现这一目标，研究将：（1）扩展对人类空间认知的神经学和行为学研究，以系统地映射自我中心（即，以身体为中心的）AR系统中的空间感知和对象操纵;（2）为METLAB的ImageTclAR工具包添加新功能，以支持该项目和空间AR界面设计，以及（3）使用基于视觉跟踪和ShapeTape传感器的新混合跟踪技术，开发具有身体和环境稳定组件的多用户移动的AR原型。 它还将系统地进行人机交互实验，以评估和确认新的移动的信息空间接口技术对以下方面的影响：信息对象搜索和感知，工具和数据对象语义，对象操作和程序性能的易用性，数据工具和对象的位置和属性的记忆，组导航，态势感知和环境的认知地图。 最后，该项目将把研究结果和界面设计经验组织起来并系统化到移动的信息空间AR设计指南中。为AR系统设计开发的新模型和方法将从两个主要方面影响移动的AR研究和开发。 对于研究，它将提供一个经验验证的理论基础，增强现实设计使用神经心理学和行为有效的人的因素模型的空间认知信息显示。 对于界面设计，它将提供信息显示指南和ImageTclAR界面开发工具，这些工具可以为优化工具的放置、菜单和数据的组织以及移动的、增强现实和沉浸式虚拟现实用户的程序聚类建立参数。
