Augmented Reality-Based Peephole Interaction using Real Space Information
Masashi Miyazaki, Takashi Komuro · 2019
In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of augmented reality-based peephole interaction on a smartphone which fixes a virtual screen on a flat surface in real space and that enables a user to change the viewing area rapidly by moving or tilting the device. Since the virtual screen is superimposed in real space, the user can easily grasp the sense of distance to the virtual screen and move the device to a proper position rapidly. In addition, it is expected that the user can remember the positions of target objects easily by associating the objects with real space information. We conducted an experiment to compare the proposed augmented reality-based peephole interface with a conventional non-augmented reality-based peephole interface, and the conventional touchscreen interface. Although there was no significant difference in task completion time, the results of the questionnaire showed that the proposed interface and the conventional peephole interface were preferred to the conventional touchscreen interface and that it could be possible to show the effectiveness of the proposed interface in further investigations.
