Abstract

Augmented Reality User Interface (AR UI) is a growing research area, which faces many design and implementation challenges. The design of a proper application ARUI is a process that demands time and expertise in the AR field. These interfaces are projected on the real world, complementing it, while providing useful information for the user's goal. The implementation of an AR UI is a time consuming task and current solutions, using interface components, lack the variety (and customization) of interface elements to create different types of applications. This paper presents a pattern-driven AR interface visualization framework (VISAR), which allows the development of context-aware AR interfaces using interface components (patterns). These patterns accelerate implementation and design time by offering an interface element for every user task. They also enable the design of adaptive interfaces, and provide share and reuse of interfaces' components. The paper also presents an AR Interface Editor (VISAR IE) that supports interface design by defining adaptation rules and offering interface patterns choices.
