AR in the Gallery: The Psychogeographer's Table.

In recent years, museums have embraced the use of digital technologies to add interactivity to exhibits. New tools such as wireless beacons, QR codes and markerless trackers paired with powerful smartphones are used to implement applications ranging from guides that provide supplementary material as web pages or audio to spatially precise augmented reality (AR). In this work we explore the use of head-mounted (rather than the more common hand-held) AR in a museum space. Our goal is to explore visitor behaviour when using such technology, to inform the design of a future longitudinal study. We found that visitors enjoyed their experience with head-mounted AR and learned fairly quickly how to navigate and interact with virtual content.
