Joint Search Patterns in Mixed Reality

Abstract

Most work is done on individual e.g. augmented reality glasses to fulfill tasks, while the technology has great potential for cooperative tasks as well. In this paper, we present a visual search experiment that was conducted in a cooperative mixed reality setting with Microsoft HoloLens devices. Participants were given search tasks representing typical challenges of cooperative mixed reality tasks in practice. The aim of the experiment was to explore how the participants cooperate, and to derive design knowledge for supporting these tasks with augmented reality devices.
