Is the world more complex in 2019- harder to navigate and receive information?!

​

Motivating Problem for this study:

Information is segregated from Architecture

​

Looking at AR as a way to bring information in design process and emerge information and architecture.

1- AR is dynamic
2- Information can be personalized
3- Change in destinations can easily be reflected in AR information without the need for new installations
4- Expensive system but very scalable

​

Problem with physical information:

1- limitations of the physical space

2- Not personalized information

3- Cannot regulate themselves to changes

4- Expensive to produce and not scalable

​

Spatial interaction in AR as an interaction to emerge architecture and information

• Spontaneous interaction, (Gellerson - 2009)

• AR is inevitably spatial

• users can most intuitively interact, (Elizabeth R. Chrastil & William H. Warren)

• Appropriate for public spaces

​

​

Goal of the study:

• Creating a spatial interaction for communicating through AR

• Test the system with how well users’ can find the information using spatial interaction as opposed to gesture based interactions

• Understanding the usefulness of spatial interaction for information access

​

Methodology:

• Technical and Theoretical:

Software and Technology:Unity, C#, 3d modelling, lighting, material and rendering

Hardwares: Microsoft Hololens, android, IOS, Magic leap

• Research:

                - Interaction types and mode in AR, specifically proxemic ones

• Architectural design process

• Different types of architectural spaces

 

• User study:

 -  Environment

 -  Participant

 -  Study type: Between subject

​

Museum as a location for case study:

• Large amount of information

• Location, proxemic and orientation are important

• Personalizing

• Updating

• Limiting in physical space
