Comparing the Effect of Audio and Visual Notifications on Workspace Awareness using Head-Mounted Displays for Remote Collaboration in Augmented Reality

In many fields of activity, working in teams is necessary for completing tasks in a proper manner and often requires visual context-related information to be exchanged between team members. In such a collaborative environment, awareness of other people’s activity is an important feature of shared-workspace collaboration. We have developed an...

A collaborative game to study presence and situational awareness in a physical and an augmented reality environment

While augmented reality research has grown into a mature field over the last years, the aspects of situational awareness and presence of augmented reality (AR) are still quite open research topics. This paper introduces a collaborative game to explore the different perception of situational awareness and presence in a physical and an AR...

Using augmented reality for supporting information exchange in teams from the security domain

The performance of operational teams in the security domain relies on quick and adequate exchange of context-related information. Currently, this information exchange is mainly based on oral communication. This paper reports on different scenarios from the security domain in which augmented reality (AR) techniques are used to support such...

Providing Information on the Spot: Using Augmented Reality for Situational Awareness in the Security Domain

For operational units in the security domain that work together in teams, it is important to quickly and adequately exchange context-related information to ensure well-working collaboration. Currently, most information exchange is based on oral communication. This paper reports on different scenarios from the security domain in which augmented...

Comparing presence, workload and situational awareness in a collaborative real world and augmented reality scenario

This paper compares presence, workload and situational awareness in a real world and augmented reality scenario when collaboratively solving a complex problem. A game of jointly building a tower of colored blocks is used as an approximation of a shared task. Individual expertise is modeled as the possibility to move blocks of a distinct color...
