International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction Special Issue Augmented Reality-Usability and Collaborative Aspects

This special issue weaves a framework of typical Augmented Reality design issues and considerations, as well as shows how to design usable AR applications and how to support collaborative work by putting AR technology to work. The need for studies evaluating the effect of computerized tools on human cooperation and communication is well justified and documented in the first paper. The second article demonstrates how the current World Wide Web will evolve over time into a Real-World Wide Web. Next, what happens to users of AR when two sources of information interfere is examined. The next two papers present a design case involving two conceptual interaction designs for a frequency converter and a model for bringing the coordination power of workflow management systems to outdoor wearable AR systems. Finally, the special issue concludes with an article showing how AR for assembly processes can be a new kind of computer support for a traditional industrial domain.Fjeld, Morten is the author of 'International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction Special Issue Augmented Reality-Usability and Collaborative Aspects', published 2003 under ISBN 9780805895803 and ISBN 0805895809.
