InstruMentAR: Auto-Generation of Augmented Reality Tutorials for Operating Digital Instruments Through Recording Embodied
Augmented Reality tutorials, which provide necessary context by directly superimposing visual guidance on the physical referent, represent an effective way of scaffolding complex instrument operations. However, current AR tutorial authoring...
MechARspace: An Authoring System Enabling Bidirectional Binding of Augmented Reality with Toys in Real-time
Augmented Reality (AR), which blends physical and virtual worlds, presents the possibility of enhancing traditional toy design. By leveraging bidirectional virtual-physical interactions between humans and the designed artifact, such AR-enhanced...
ARnnotate: An Augmented Reality Interface for Collecting Custom Dataset of 3D Hand-Object Interaction Pose Estimation
Vision-based 3D pose estimation has substantial potential in hand-object interaction applications and requires user-specified datasets to achieve robust performance. We propose ARnnotate, an Augmented Reality (AR) interface enabling end-users to...
ScalAR: Authoring Semantically Adaptive Augmented Reality Experiences in Virtual Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) experiences tightly associate virtual contents with environmental entities. However, the dissimilarity of different environments limits the adaptive AR content behaviors under large-scale deployment. We propose ScalAR, an...

"GesturAR: An Authoring System for Creating Freehand Interactive Augmented Reality Applications" receives the Best Paper Honorable Mention Award (Top 5% of the accepted paper) in the 34th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software &...
GesturAR: An Authoring System for Creating Freehand Interactive Augmented Reality Applications
Freehand gesture is an essential input modality for modern Augmented Reality (AR) user experiences. However, developing AR applications with customized hand interactions remains a challenge for end-users. Therefore, we propose GesturAR, an...
ProcessAR: An augmented reality-based tool to create in-situ procedural 2D/3D AR Instructions
Augmented reality (AR) is an efficient form of delivering spatial information and has great potential for training workers. However, AR is still not widely used for such scenarios due to the technical skills and expertise required to create...
LightPaintAR: Assist Light Painting Photography with Augmented Reality
Light painting photos are created by moving light sources in mid-air while taking a long exposure photo. However, it is challenging for novice users to leave accurate light traces without any spatial guidance. Therefore, we present LightPaintAR, a...
AdapTutAR: An Adaptive Tutoring System for Machine Tasks in Augmented Reality
Modern manufacturing processes are in a state of flux, as they adapt to increasing demand for flexible and self-configuring production. This poses challenges for training workers to rapidly master new machine operations and processes, i.e. machine...
