Intelligent Filtering for Augmented Reality
Abstract
Recent developments in computing hardware have begun to make mobile and wearable Augmented Reality (AR) systems a reality. With this new freedom, AR systems can now be used in a very wide range of applications including disaster relief, localization and repair of utilities and even as an assistant for tourists walking through unfamiliar historical sites. This paper considers the use of AR to assist with the task of warfighting in an urban environment. Urban environments are compact, complicated and can be highly dynamic. Any successful AR system must overcome a host of challenges including the need for a robust tracking systems and wearable hardware and must present the information to the user an intuitive and informative manner. This paper considers the problem of designing a user interface which avoids information overload through automatically managing the graphical context which is displayed to the user. We describe the paradigm of an information filter - a decision mechanism that uses the user's location, the user's current goal and the properties of objects within the environment to deduce what information should be displayed.
