This is a project to understand and improve how augmented reality can facilitate task performance by superimposing information in users' visual fields to help identify objects and features, direct actions, and provide spatial-temporal overviews and other perspectives. Augmented reality is a rapidly developing information display technology, using either head-mounted displays or handhelds incorporating cameras, to add information to the visual field of the user. The project will develop and test the best ways to facilitate performance with multiple people, perspectives, platforms, and tasks to convey the what, where, when, and how of action. The research will be conducted in the laboratory and in the field, including the historic El Barrio section of East Harlem. Project software is expected to significantly improve the ability of residents and visitors, alone and in groups, to learn about, plan visits to, and explore the neighborhood. In their personal and professional lives, people need to perform an enormous range of complex tasks, including navigation, maintenance, and assembly. Technology can make these tasks easier, and the use of augmented reality to interactively assist users by overlaying crucial missing information directly on a user's view is especially promising.Each of the tasks studied in this research entails an organized sequence of actions with respect to features or objects in the world. The features or objects may be hard to find or even be occluded. The actions may be complex. Work is increasingly collaborative, requiring coordination with others who have different perspectives. Each action can depend on previous and subsequent actions. The research will integrate work in cognitive science and computer science to develop principled approaches for using the transformative technology of augmented reality to assist people in navigation, maintenance, assembly, and related tasks. It will expand our abilities in understanding how people represent, transform, and communicate space and the actions in it; in designing instructions; in developing systems to assist users in assembly, maintenance, and navigation; and in designing stationary, mobile, and wearable user interfaces that use graphics, multimedia, and augmented reality, both indoors and outdoors. The scientific results will enlighten the study of the communication of objects, actions, and data, instructional design, and user interface design. The techniques and systems developed will inform the design of future systems that can aid the general public for educational and recreational ends, as well as systems that can assist people with auditory, visual, or physical impairments. Navigation, maintenance, and assembly are representative of many important daily tasks. Software created by the project will be adaptable to different situations and displays, and made available to the public as open source. The project will train students, and will be carried out in part through collaborative interdisciplinary projects in courses in computer science and cognitive science.

该项目旨在了解和改进增强现实如何通过在用户视野中叠加信息来帮助识别对象和特征、指导行动并提供时空概览和其他视角，从而促进任务绩效。增强现实是一种快速发展的信息显示技术，使用头戴式显示器或带有摄像头的手持设备将信息添加到用户的视野中。该项目将开发和测试促进多个人员、观点、平台和任务绩效的最佳方法，以传达行动的内容、地点、时间和方式。该研究将在实验室和现场进行，包括东哈莱姆区历史悠久的埃尔巴里奥地区。 项目软件预计将显着提高居民和游客单独或成组了解、计划参观和探索社区的能力。 在个人和职业生活中，人们需要执行大量复杂的任务，包括导航、维护和组装。技术可以使这些任务变得更容易，并且使用增强现实通过将关键的缺失信息直接覆盖在用户的视图上来交互式地帮助用户是特别有前途的。本研究中研究的每个任务都需要有组织的关于功能或功能的动作序列。世界上的物体。这些特征或对象可能很难找到，甚至被遮挡。动作可能很复杂。工作越来越需要协作，需要与持不同观点的其他人进行协调。每个操作都可以依赖于先前和后续的操作。该研究将整合认知科学和计算机科学的工作，开发使用增强现实变革技术来帮助人们进行导航、维护、组装和相关任务的原则性方法。它将扩展我们理解人们如何表征、改造和交流空间及其行为的能力；在设计说明中；开发协助用户组装、维护和导航的系统；以及设计在室内和室外使用图形、多媒体和增强现实的固定、移动和可穿戴用户界面。科学成果将启发对象、动作和数据的交流、教学设计和用户界面设计的研究。开发的技术和系统将为未来系统的设计提供信息，这些系统可以帮助公众实现教育和娱乐目的，以及可以帮助有听觉、视觉或身体障碍的人的系统。导航、维护和组装代表了许多重要的日常任务。该项目创建的软件将适应不同的情况和显示，并以开源方式向公众提供。该项目将培训学生，并将部分通过计算机科学和认知科学课程中的跨学科合作项目来进行。
