Abstract:
A U.S. Navy project explored the rapid production of high-fidelity user interface prototypes to be utilized by end users, researchers, designers, and engineers working together to develop and validate, new concepts of operations and emerging technologies. Key to this futuristic vision was the emphasis on the human-computer interfaces for collaboration. Initial designs were applied to large multitouch display devices to explore alternative UIs. Augmented Reality (AR) has presented itself as an emerging technology where collaboration amongst end users provides an interesting concept. The question asked by this work is, can both a large screen multiuser touch table be used in conjunction with an Augmented Reality overlay for additional collaboration within a virtual environment?
