Augmented Reality Study Recruitment Notice

Posted by Computer Science on October 24, 2018 in General Announcements

We are recruiting pairs of participants for a study exploring how people interact and share augmented reality (AR) experiences with others. The study will assess the impact of different sharing techniques in a real-world application. Participants will be required to wear an Augment Reality headset while they freely explore an installation at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Participants must be regular museum-goers when traveling and should reply to this notice with the name of the partner (e.g., close friend, sibling, partner) who will participate with them.

The study will consist of a single session. In this session, you will meet with the researcher at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, 1675 Lower Water Street. During the study, participants may explore the exhibit for as long as they wish, typically between 10 and 20 minutes. While only one of the participants will wear the AR headset during the study, the partner can try wearing the headset after the study session is complete. There is no compensation for participating in this study, but we will waive the admission fee at the museum if participants want to stay after their session to explore the museum.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Juliano Franz by email (juliano.franz@dal.ca) with your partner in carbon copy (CC) and answer the following doodle pool for availability: https://goo.gl/2GUZG4
