Using augmented reality for supporting information exchange in teams from the security domain

Abstract

The performance of operational teams in the security domain relies on quick and adequate exchange of context-related information. Currently, this information exchange is mainly based on oral communication. This paper reports on different scenarios from the security domain in which augmented reality (AR) techniques are used to support such information exchange. The scenarios have been elicited using an end-user centred design approach. To support these scenarios, an AR environment has been developed and the usability of the AR support has been evaluated with experts from different operational units in the security domain. The first evaluation shows that the scenarios are well defined and the AR environment can successfully support information exchange in teams operating in the security domain.
