Abstract

Intuitive access to information in habitual real-world environments is a challenge for information technology. An important question is how can we enhance established and well-functioning everyday environments rather than replace them by virtual environments (VEs)? Augmented reality (AR) technology has a lot of potential in this respect because it augments real-world environments with computer-generated imagery. Today, most AR systems use see-through head-mounted displays, which share most of the disadvantages of other head-attached display devices.
