Evaluating User Preferences for Augmented Reality Interactions with the Internet of Things

Authors Info & Claims
Published:02 October 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

We investigate user preferences for controlling IoT devices with headset-based Augment Reality (AR), comparing gestural control and voice control. An elicitation study is performed with 16 participants to gather their preferred voice commands and gestures for a set of referents. We analyzed 784 inputs (392 gestures and 392 voice) as well as observations and interviews to develop an empirical basis for design recommendations that form a guideline for future designers and implementors of such voice commands and gestures for interacting with the IoT via headset-based AR.
