Abstract. Humans naturally use an impressive variety of ways to com-municate. In this work, we investigate the possibilities of complement-ing these natural communication channels with artificial ones. For this, augmented reality is used as a technique to add synthetic visual and au-ditory stimuli to people’s perception. A system for the mutual display of the gaze direction of two interactants is presented and its acceptance is shown through a study. Finally, future possibilities of promoting this novel concept of artificial communication channels are explored.
