Augmented Environments Lab

Abstract

An ongoing research problem in Augmented Reality (AR) is to improve tracking and display technology in order to minimize registration errors. However, registration is not always necessary for users to understand the intent of an augmentation. We discuss how the ideas of communicative intent can be used in AR to ameliorate the effects of registration errors. We have developed a set of AR visualization techniques for augmentations with specific communicative intents that adapt to changing registration errors and demonstrate the use of these techniques.
