Abstract:
Head-mounted augmented reality (AR) displays offer a great potential for pedestrian navigation that has not been fully explored so far. Here, we introduce the design of four visualisations for pedestrian navigation in outdoor settings. The first visualisation consists of cubes floating above ground and placed along the route ahead of the user. The second visualisation shows floating arrows that are positioned at turning points of the route. The third visualisation indicates the geometry with a flat line placed slightly above ground. The fourth visualisation is an animated bird avatar that is flying in front of the user. We describe the design of the four visualisations and document the implementation using the Unity game engine software and the Microsoft HoloLens hardware.
