"Megereality": Leveraging Physical Affordances for Multi-Device Gestural Interaction in Augmented Reality

Published: 25 April 2020 Publication History

Abstract

We present a novel gestural interaction strategy for multi-device interactions in augmented reality (AR), in which we leverage existing physical affordances of everyday products and spaces for intuitive interactions in AR. To explore this concept, we designed and prototyped three demo scenarios: pulling virtual sticky notes from a tablet, pulling a 3D model from a computer display, and 'slurping' color from the real-world environment to smart lights with a virtual eyedropper. By merging the boundary of digital and physical, utilizing metaphors in AR and embodying the abstract process, we demonstrate an interaction strategy that harnesses the physical affordances to assist digital interaction in AR with hand gestures.
