CHS: Medium: Collaborative Research: Augmented Reality for Multiple People, Perspectives, Platforms, and Tasks

这是一个项目，旨在了解和改进增强现实如何通过在用户的视野中叠加信息来帮助识别对象和功能、指导行动并提供时空概览和其他视角，从而促进任务执行。增强现实是一种快速发展的信息显示技术，它使用头盔显示器或内置摄像头的手持设备来向用户的视野添加信息。该项目将通过多人、多角度、多平台和多任务来开发和测试促进性能的最佳方法，以传达行动的内容、地点、时间和方式。这项研究将在实验室和现场进行，包括东哈莱姆区历史悠久的埃尔巴里奥段。预计项目软件将显著提高居民和游客单独和集体了解、计划访问和探索社区的能力。在个人和职业生活中，人们需要执行大量复杂的任务，包括导航、维护和组装。技术可以使这些任务变得更容易，使用增强现实通过将关键的缺失信息直接覆盖在用户的视图上来交互地帮助用户尤其有希望。这项研究中研究的每一项任务都需要与世界上的特征或对象相关的有组织的操作序列。特征或对象可能很难找到，甚至被遮挡。这些行动可能很复杂。工作越来越具有协作性，需要与其他有不同观点的人进行协调。每个操作都可以依赖于之前和随后的操作。这项研究将结合认知科学和计算机科学的工作，开发使用增强现实的变革性技术来帮助人们完成导航、维护、组装和相关任务的原则性方法。它将扩大我们的能力，了解人们如何表示、转换和交流空间以及空间中的行动；设计指令；开发系统以帮助用户组装、维护和导航；以及设计室内和室外使用图形、多媒体和增强现实的固定、移动和可穿戴的用户界面。这些科学成果将对对象、动作和数据的交流、教学设计和用户界面设计的研究有所启发。开发的技术和系统将为未来系统的设计提供信息，这些系统可以帮助普通公众实现教育和娱乐目的，以及可以帮助听力、视觉或身体残疾的人的系统。导航、维护和组装是许多重要的日常任务的代表。该项目创建的软件将适应不同的情况和显示，并以开源形式向公众提供。该项目将对学生进行培训，部分将通过计算机科学和认知科学课程中的跨学科合作项目来实施。

This is a project to understand and improve how augmented reality can facilitate task performance by superimposing information in users' visual fields to help identify objects and features, direct actions, and provide spatial-temporal overviews and other perspectives. Augmented reality is a rapidly developing information display technology, using either head-mounted displays or handhelds incorporating cameras, to add information to the visual field of the user. The project will develop and test the best ways to facilitate performance with multiple people, perspectives, platforms, and tasks to convey the what, where, when, and how of action. The research will be conducted in the laboratory and in the field, including the historic El Barrio section of East Harlem. Project software is expected to significantly improve the ability of residents and visitors, alone and in groups, to learn about, plan visits to, and explore the neighborhood. In their personal and professional lives, people need to perform an enormous range of complex tasks, including navigation, maintenance, and assembly. Technology can make these tasks easier, and the use of augmented reality to interactively assist users by overlaying crucial missing information directly on a user's view is especially promising.Each of the tasks studied in this research entails an organized sequence of actions with respect to features or objects in the world. The features or objects may be hard to find or even be occluded. The actions may be complex. Work is increasingly collaborative, requiring coordination with others who have different perspectives. Each action can depend on previous and subsequent actions. The research will integrate work in cognitive science and computer science to develop principled approaches for using the transformative technology of augmented reality to assist people in navigation, maintenance, assembly, and related tasks. It will expand our abilities in understanding how people represent, transform, and communicate space and the actions in it; in designing instructions; in developing systems to assist users in assembly, maintenance, and navigation; and in designing stationary, mobile, and wearable user interfaces that use graphics, multimedia, and augmented reality, both indoors and outdoors. The scientific results will enlighten the study of the communication of objects, actions, and data, instructional design, and user interface design. The techniques and systems developed will inform the design of future systems that can aid the general public for educational and recreational ends, as well as systems that can assist people with auditory, visual, or physical impairments. Navigation, maintenance, and assembly are representative of many important daily tasks. Software created by the project will be adaptable to different situations and displays, and made available to the public as open source. The project will train students, and will be carried out in part through collaborative interdisciplinary projects in courses in computer science and cognitive science.
