Description
Recent demonstrations of AR showcase engaging spatial features while avoiding text input. However, this is not due to descending relevance but rather because no satisfactory solution to text input in a comprehensive AR system is available yet. Any novel technological device requires rethinking the way we interact with it, including text input. With its variety of sensors, AR devices offer numerous possibilities for uni- and multimodal interaction. However, it is essential to evaluate the actual problem space before suggesting solutions. In our design science research project, we aim to create design knowledge about the learnability and performance of AR keyboards. Based on transfer of learning theory and HCI literature on virtual keyboards, we propose meta requirements and initial design principles that serve as basis for developing a multimodal AR keyboard prototype.
