Blog: AR Glasses

First exercise for my class Current Topics in Interactive Development. Based off of Luke Wroblewski’s augmented reality speculations, I came up with 5 more scenarios of useful AR situations with maximum information and minimum obstruction. The tech assumptions are the same as Wroblewski’s: an AR headset with gaze / eye tracking and audio input control. For these scenarios I took inspiration from my own life and what would benefit me. Below are the sketches and photographic prototypes:

"Check Lock"

Car with text saying 'unlocked'

"Specs"

Laptop with hardware specs displayed

"Define"

Passage in book with definition displayed

"Check Schedule"

Bus stop with next bus time displayed

"Allergy Check"

Food label with allergen displayed
