Using 3D and World Mapping Standards to Streamline AR Experience Production

Aug 18 2021

- This research will provide AREA members and their technology providers insights into how standards used in real world capture may streamline AR authoring pipelines. - If AR authoring can be semi or fully-automated this will reduce costs, time and errors that are inherent when humans are required to custom engineer AR experiences.

Automated Alert to Dangerous Workplace Conditions

Aug 18 2021

- Saving lives and reducing risk to which employees are exposed is a high priority and represents a significant cost to operations. - Reducing the risk through technology use brings immediate return on investments, in many industries. - The specification of AI systems connected to AR displays for risk detection, and the sequence of triggers leading to an alert being provided to the user, is valuable regardless of the manufacturer of the sensors or AR display.

Chemical and Radiation Sensors for AR Devices

Aug 18 2021

- Real time display of IoT sensor readings provide user context, beyond those that rely on RGB or RGBD cameras for real time environment acquisition. - The lack of connection with sensors measuring gas or radiation represents a gap which can be addressed through research and could contribute to the development of standards. - The visualization of gases and other salient chemical or radioactive features of the physical world are important and would serve as the basis for decision making for users when operating equipment in conditions unsuitable to vision-based sensors.

What Factors Influence Perceptions of Presence?

Aug 18 2021

- AREA members will benefit from having new ways to define effective AR application environments from the end user perspective. - Deeper understanding of presence and when immersion is broken will reduce how frequently an operator must shift their attention, which may cause cognitive tunneling associated with decreased awareness of critical elements in either environment, higher perceptions of mental workload, safety issues, and decreased productivity. - Understanding the level of fidelity necessary to achieve optimal presence will help AR developers know the appropriate effort and resources to invest in specific use cases. - The research will also assess if and...

New Power Sources for Wearable AR Displays

Aug 18 2021

- Most of the leading AR display component and system manufacturers are AREA members. - Use of wearable AR displays in AREA member settings is limited by many factors, one of which is the size and weight of the display needed in order to store sufficient energy to power the computational processing requirements of AR experiences. - The issues of power storage to deliver energy for a full work shift can be addressed through reducing local (on-device) processing and power requirements, and increasing storage capacity. - Having continuously generated power from a source such as the movements or environment of...
