On the Spot Information in Augmented Reality for Teams in the Security Domain

Abstract

For operational teams in the security domain it is important to quickly and adequately exchange context-related information. This is necessary to develop distributed situational awareness and facilitate collaboration. Currently, information exchange is mainly based on oral communication. Oral communication can be misunderstood or ambiguous. This paper reports on different scenarios from the security domain in which augmented reality (AR) techniques are used to support information exchange. A combination of quantitative and qualitative evaluation showed that AR can improve the distributed situational awareness of a team.
