Abstract

Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) is still a fragmented space to design for due to the rapidly evolving hardware, the interdisciplinarity of teams, and a lack of standards and best practices. We interviewed 26 professional AR/VR designers and developers to shed light on their tasks, approaches, tools, and challenges. Based on their work and the artifacts they generated, we found that AR/VR application creators fulfill four roles: concept developers, interaction designers, content authors, and technical developers. One person often incorporates multiple roles and faces a variety of challenges during the design process from the initial contextual analysis to the deployment. From analysis of their tool sets, methods, and artifacts, we describe critical key challenges. Finally, we discuss the importance of prototyping for the communication in AR/VR development teams and highlight design implications for future tools to create a more usable AR/VR tool chain.

An Empirical Study on Current Practices and Challenges of Core AR/VR Developers
ASEW '24: Proceedings of the 39th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering Workshops

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications are increasingly integral to modern society. Core AR/VR developers, pivotal in crafting these advanced technologies, face significant challenges throughout the software development lifecycle. ...
Regulating the Metaverse, a Blueprint for the Future
Extended Reality
Abstract
The core Immersive Media (IM) technologies of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) have steadily advanced over the last thirty years, enabling high fidelity experiences at consumer prices. Over the same period, networking speeds have ...
Designer's augmented reality toolkit, ten years later: implications for new media authoring tools
UIST '14: Proceedings of the 27th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology

The Designer's Augmented Reality Toolkit (DART) was an augmented (AR) and mixed reality (MR) authoring tool targeted at new media designers. It was released in 2003 and was heavily used by a diverse population of creators for the next several years [28]...
